NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- People en
Español's Festival, traditionally held in New York annually, returns virtually this
year, kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month. The prized cultural
event will bring multiple generations of Latinos together during
the virtually interactive weekend. With participation from
singer-songwriter Gloria
Estefan, actress Julissa Calderón, actress and
entrepreneur Elizabeth
Gutierrez, and musicians Gian
Marco and Aymee
Nuviola, among many others, this year's Festival will be
free of charge and is scheduled for October
10th and 11th.
This year's programming will feature eye-opening conversations
with leaders and celebrities, music performances, and engaging
conversations to inspire the Latino community. This year's Festival
theme, "El Momento Es Ahora: ¡Vota Por Un Futuro Mejor!" ("The Time
Is Now: Latino Vote For A Better Future"), will highlight the
national Hispanic community's contributions to popular culture and
molding the future of America. People en Español's Festival will be
a platform to motivate the Hispanic community and inspire them to
go out and vote during a critical upcoming election year in 2020.
Journalist and host Pamela
Silva, among others, will have in-depth conversations on
the value of the Hispanic voter and exercising one's right to vote,
particularly for young Latinos.
"As the number-one Hispanic brand, it is our responsibility to
not only inform our audience but also to inspire and motivate them.
In addition to entertaining, we are honored to have this function
as a platform to celebrate our culture, communities, and leaders,"
said People en Español's Publisher, Monique
Manso. "There has never been a more important time than now
for Latinos to use their voices and contributions for this country
and for future generations. It is our duty to use this time to
learn from our past accomplishments while paving the way for the
future — especially as we brace ourselves to make a strong impact
on the 2020 election."
Stars from various Netflix productions - David Castañeda
(The Umbrella Academy), Julissa Calderón
(Gentefied) and Julio Macías (On My Block; Selena: The Series) - will be
discussing what it means to be Latino in Hollywood today. As we strive for more
inclusive and diverse representation on screen, these actors allow
those watching to see themselves reflected in television and films
in a way they haven't seen before. Additionally, Netflix will debut
never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage from the upcoming
Selena: The Series.
Amazon Prime, The Clorox Brand, Facebook Watch's Red
Table Talk: The Estefans, Netflix, and Prime
Video join as sponsors for the event.
"Clorox is delighted to partner with People En Español
during their 'Festival en Casa' to celebrate Hispanic culture,
community and entertainment," said Magnus
Jonsson, Vice President of Cleaning at The Clorox Brand. "
As a leader in public health we are dedicated to creating a cleaner
