Featuring the annual Hollywood Beach Latin Festival! Inviting all for a South Florida area MatchDoctor get together and the sounds of some of the best local and international Latin entertainers. Latin Fest is a showcase of both traditional and folkloric music on two stages, all taking place right on the beach and with a breath taking view of the Atlantic as the backdrop! Lots of dancing, folks and fun. Enjoy the great variety of Latin cuisine and crafts offered by venders all along the Hollywood Broadwalk. I've gone to Latin Fest almost every year for the last seven years and I can attest that this is one pretty cool event!

Fuchia I am going to tenatively sign up for this one.. and see if I can get the weekend off from job two. I am not a big fan of Latin music , but I know I can have a good time no matter what. The festival sounds like fun and being right on the beach is pretty cool too.

Honbee and Dove, that would be awesome if y'all could make it! All I know is Latin Fest is a very vibrant and exciting event. I'm always drawn to go every year. Although I don't listen to Latin music a lot I do very much enjoy listening to it live.

Well I am on my trip, and I logged in to be pleasantly suprised that now five people have no signed up!  Honbee, Witchie, and Dove, I really do hope you will be able to show up. Not only do you get to meet me  (which by then, it should be the second time since I'm also signed up for the Lakeland event), BUT as an added incentive, you get to meet another follow Hollywood'ian, Gary51hwd!!   
Actually, it'll also be my first time as well. Anyway Gary, welcome!
Oh yeah, the other day, I realized I forgot to put the phone numbers in for the hotels.   Geez you'd think I was konked on the head a few times to forget to do that... lol...you know. like this ====>
Well anyway, like I said, I'm on vacation now, so I'll have to wait till I get home to do that.

Wow that's pretty cool that you live right there on the beach! lol...So I guess this means you can't use the "it's too far" excuse as a reason to not come join us.  
Having said that, we'd all love to see you.

I'm sure you'll be there, but I hope you'll stop by and meet some of the regulars in this forum who are going to be there.
We'll be right on the beach behind where the band shell is on Johnson Street.
