LATIN Fall Fiesta and Parade
COLOMBIA!

SHINE COLOMBIA, SHINE!

The Colombian delegation in the “Latin Fall Fiesta and Parade” paid tribute to the great performance of Colombian athletes worldwide

Latin Fall Fiesta and Parade COLOMBIA

The “COLOMBIA, Land of Champions” troupe was adorned with the presence of two great Colombian athletes to whom we paid our admiration and respect: Antonio “El Tomate” Agudelo, the first Colombian to win a stage in the Tour of Spain and Esneider Cardenas, member of the Colombian Team of Wheelchair Rugby and Bronze medalist at the Parapan American Games Lima 2019. Both athletes stand out forever in the glorious history of Colombian sports.

Despite the high temperatues, the music and the dances by the folkloric group Yambeke made the espectators dance at the rhythm of cumbia, salsa and mapale. A phenomenal group of fellow volunteers attended the call of the Casa Cultural Colombiana and proudly wore the typical costumes of our beloved land filling the route with color, beauty and joy. Closing the parade the most creative and beautiful carriage was designed and decorated by Martha Suárez of Lotus Event Decorations.
While outside under the burning sun the people danced to the Colombian beats; inside, at the Colombian tent, coffee with its delicious aroma of our land, Colombian empanadas, stuffed potatoes and the famous salpicon of Vilma Rojas were the delight of palates of all nationalities.

We appreciate the support and participation of our sponsors, a wonderful group of Colombians who support our culture and make it possible for Colombia to be present at these cultural events: Bike for Life, Diana Puerta - Real Estate Broker, Diego Barreto - Royal Bank, Interconection Trading Cargo , International Sport Bar and Eatery, Magic Vision, Mauricio Patarroyo - CIBC, La Liga Toronto, Latin Life Magazine, Lotus Event Decoration, Munera Lawyers / Avocates, Rodrigo Piñeros - Broker SRS - RP Team, TD Bank, The Latin Travel and Zulia Castellanos .

Thank you all participants who so dearly attended this event and made Colombia shine!
