Celebration of Brazilian culture sambas into Downtown Plaza

A colourful celebration of music, culture and cuisine is set for the Sault's new Downtown Plaza next month.

The Northern Ontario Latin Hispanic Association (NOLHA) has partnered with the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library to bring the community a Brazilian Festival.

"In celebration of Latin Hispanic Month, we are thrilled to represent Brazil and celebrate with the whole community," the library said in a release.

Bring out your friends and family and enjoy games, activities, music, dancing, and food at the Downtown Plaza, the library said.

The festival takes place on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
