Organizers pleased with turnout at inaugural cultural celebration

    Cultures collided in a good way Saturday during the first-ever Gran Festival celebration hosted in downtown Hampton.
    Around 1,000 people showed up to the event, which was held as a fundraiser by local outreach group La Luz Hispana. It featured live music, games and vendors; and raised more than $10,000 with additional funds still coming in.
     “It was fabulous,” said Sister Carmen Hernandez, of La Luz Hispana. “We had a great turnout, the weather was good and the events were fun.”
