Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church hosted its annual Hispanic Festival on Saturday, September 20, drawing a joyful crowd for a day of cultural celebration, family fun, and community connection.

Children and youth from the community performed a variety of dances, and a professional folkloric group concluded the entertainment.

Parishioners sold authentic foods such as tacos, empanadas, and other savory delicacies.

Children enjoyed a variety of games and crafts created especially for them.

The Knights of Columbus offered for sale a glass Christmas ornament featuring the church's Our Lady of Guadalupe stained-glass window, and provided church tours led by Jim Brooks for interested visitors.

Proceeds from the Hispanic Festival support Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, in Forest City.
