Popular Wilmington festival rebrands and expands, plus your weekend

The first time I met Lucy Vasquez was back in the late 1990s. Vasquez had contacted me hoping I'd write about a new festival she was starting, something called Festival Latino. At that time, Latino people were first starting to move to the Wilmington area, but Vasquez, who hails from near Los Angeles, said she almost didn't recognize the Latinos she was meeting around Wilmington. They kept their heads down, she told me, were quiet and didn't often seek to interact with their community. She wanted to start Festival Latino to help introduce Wilmington to its new neighbors. Nearly three decades, and several locations, later, the festival has been a success. This year, it's undergoing a bit of an expansion and a rebrand, as the 26th annual Amigos International Festival will return to Ogden Park in Wilmington on Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15. The name may be different, but the free festival is still billed as a "cross-cultural weekend of food, music, dancing and family." "It’s an opportunity for people with different languages and cultural backgrounds to enjoy each other’s company," Vasquez wrote in a news release, with food from Mexico, El Salvador, Cuba, Honduras, Colombia, the Caribbean

Over the next few days bring in the potted plants and start the process of protecting tender vegetation or you may lose it this weekend with potentially many areas inland of the coast ending their growing season. Dry and sunny conditions to continue into early next week, with temperatures remaining chilly.
