On January 28, Sunset park will become the stage for food, drinks and Latin performances; to benefit Puerto Rico, which suffered devastating damage from Hurricane Maria last September.  

The island’s residents are still facing significant hardships from the storm, considered to be the worst natural disaster on record to hit Puerto Rico.

Proceeds from food sales will go directly to Por Los Nuestros, a charity set up to help those in need on the island.

The free festival will begin at 3 p.m. and continue to 6 p.m.  Sunset Park is located at 230 West 4th Avenue in downtown Mount Dora.​
