An Enjoyable Afternoon at the Hispanic Fiesta
















During the weekend, me and my parents went to the 28th Hispanic fiesta at North York Centre. The whole fiesta was held there.

There were a lot of people walking and buying things at the stalls. Most of them were selling food and souvenirs from Latin America. At a particular stall. the cultural music from a panpipe musician was really interesting. There were a lot of people crowded around him. Finally, we decided to buy a pan pipe. It is small but it sounds unique and great.

We soon came across a performance on stage. There was a large audience near the stage and the background. Then came out the dancers showing off their colors and beauty. There were dances from Bolivia, Colombia, Peru and Panama. The Bolivian dance was the most colorful while the Panama dance was the most elegant. Each dance routine was good and we all really enjoyed it. We took a lot of shots of the dancing performance.

After the dances, we continued walking. Soon after, we spotted a stall selling churros. There was a long line-up to try the Mexican food. Not knowing what it was, we tried 2 churros. One was plain, one was chocolate glazed. It was shaped like a banana and fried in oil. It looked like a jumbo straw with flour and sugar. I thought it was a salty and soft snack, but actually it was sweet and crunchy.

Finally, we left the fiesta and went to the North York shopping Centre. The Loblaws supermarket was very big. The fruits on display were very colorful.

Overall, it was a very good afternoon.
