During the summer months we are the host of several Hispanic Festivals, including Colombian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Mexican and Dominican. We are also the home of the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival and the Korean Harvest and Folklore Festival. The attendance at these functions range from 50,000 to 250,000 people.
