NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The third annual Colombia NOLA Festival happened on Saturday, July 26, at the Broadside, bringing with it a true cultural experience.

Festival promoters said they were determined to have the festival after the City of Kenner canceled the Hispanic Heritage Festival due to concerns of ICE raids.

“Our festival was an incredible success. A meeting space between the culture and entrepreneurial spirit of our community. A very positive dynamic for our families and friends who enjoy meeting us regardless of the country of origin. An example of citizenship and absolute coexistence in a city full of art and culture, ” said Colombian NOLA Fest producer Dayhanna Velandia.
