California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) and the John M. Pfau Library’s Latino Literacy Now project, will host the 2nd annual Edward James Olmos Latino Book and Family Festival on Saturday, May 3rd, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival, which includes workshops, storytelling, meeting book authors and other activities, will be held at the Santos Manuel Student Union’s Events Center and Lobby. The public is invited to this free day of food and entertainment, which includes free parking in Lots D and E. Performances will start at 11 a.m., with Multicultural Music Tree, by Jose Ledesma, Maribel Puentes, Danza Azteca Tlazolteoti and Ballet Folclorico Tierra de Mi Padre. El Original Huichos Tacos and Carl’s Hawaiian Shaved Ice and food concessions will be on hand with budget-friendly food. The event will bring more than 50 award-winning authors to the campus to promote literacy and education. These authors will read, make presentations and sign books. During the festivities, both young and seasoned musicians and dancers will provide cultural entertainment. About 500 students from the San Bernardino City Unified School District will be recognized for their reading achievements, and the winners of the Latino Essay and Art Contest will be announced.
