ACHF Cultural Heritage
Festival attendees will enjoy/become more aware of the variety of Hispanic arts/cultural heritages. As in last two years, we'll survey a random sample of attendees at the Festival. We'll also have boards throughout the park on which people can place stickers in various columns to register their responses to individual artists/festival as a whole. 2: Attendees appreciate Hispanic residents' cultural contributions to local/MN community and seek to create stronger community, more welcoming to Hispanics. In-festival random attendee survey. Sticker boards throughout park. Monitoring for post-festival community actions to create more welcoming community.
