“The more fun events you have like this the more we’re all able to enjoy it,” Mayor John Argoudelis told Patch. “I think it’s a great quality-of-life thing for our community. … It’s kind of a sign of a Plainfield coming of age that we have so many people wanting to do so many things here in our hometown.”
Altiro’s event isn’t the only one in Plainfield this summer celebrating Hispanic culture. The inaugural Barro Fest will take place from 1-10 p.m. July 27 at Settlers’ Park and the adjacent vacant property to the west, Patch reported.
