Live it up, Latino style

Posted by Katie Johnston Chase July 18, 2008 10:48 AM

Looking for some Latino culture this weekend? Festival Betances, which bills itself as "the oldest Latino community arts festival in New England," kicks off tonight in the South End. The entertainment runs the gamut, from Peruvian music to Mexican dancing to Puerto Rican spoken word, as well as food, crafts, and pony rides.

There's even something called a Grease Pole Contest on Sunday afternoon.

Looks like fun, right?

These guys won it in 2006:
