Scottsdale Latin Jazz Festival & Hispanic Heritage Celebration
The SCPA is partnering with the City of Scottsdale's Human Relations Commission and its 5 year running Hispanic Heritage Celebration to bring forth the richness and diversity of Latin Cultures. The Latin Jazz Festival will continue to grow this unmatched tradition of excellence and quality entertainment in signature style.
This new signature event sizzles with the sounds, rhythms and flavors of Latin America. This exhilarating outdoor celebration showcases top Latin Jazz artists from Brazil, Cuba, Mexico and the United States, from the lengendary Arturo Sandoval to rising stars Claudia Villela, Tiempo Libre and Ximena Sariñana and Arizona's own Cascabel, Cinco de Moio, Powerdrive and Rakata. Stroll the beautiful grounds of the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall and enjoy continuous live music on the amphitheater stage, a Latin Mercado featuring handmade arts and crafts, delicious Latin-inspired cuisine and beverages and the Peanut Butter & Latin Jam family area offering creative activities for children. Inside, the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' new Virginia G. Piper Theater hosts the finals of the Scottsdale Latin Ballroom Dance Competition.
The proceeds from this event along with Scottsdale's Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration will be used in the distribution of youth scholarships.
This year's Hispanic Heritage Celebration - Scottsdale Latin Jazz Festival will be held on November 13-15, 2009 at the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall. You don't want to miss this great event! Check out pictures from the 2007 - 2008 celebration.
