Friday | 6/18/2021 | Family, Community & Culture: The Ortega Brothers On Good Morning Aurora

From Chicago to Aurora, the news and culture can’t be stopped. Today we were pleased to be joined by Elvis & Jorge Ortega, brothers who created El Gran Festival Colombiano! With a focus on family, heritage and community, what started as a birthday party in a forest preserve is now an annual event! A celebration of Colombian independence, the event this year will take place July 24th & 25th in Humboldt Park, Chicago. In our conversation we spoke about the cultural significance of the Colombian community. Also, Jorge detailed the intimacies of the Afro-Latin experience in music, food and culture. Both Elvis and Jorge have worked very hard to ensure that a safe, positive experience can be enjoyed by everyone. We appreciate these gentlemen for making the drive to the 2nd largest city and sharing their great story with us.
