DeKALB – Conexion Comunidad kicked off National Hispanic Heritage Month on Saturday with its ninth annual fiesta in downtown DeKalb.

The day centered on Hispanic heritage, but Kristina Garcia, president of Conexion Comunidad, said there’s something for everyone – Spanish foods, music, dancing at the Van Buer Plaza, games and information booths by local sponsors and nonprofits. Conexion Comunidad is a nonprofit that promotes leadership through culture and arts.

“We really want to bring to everyone, all the different diversities we have living here in DeKalb,” Garcia said. “We just want to celebrate with the entire community and promote diversity.”
