Los Lideres de JH perform at the Tippecanoe Latino Festival in Lafayette on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2025. The 17th annual Tippecanoe Latino Festival brought in people from the community for a day of celebrating culture and building connections. By bringing the organizations to the Latino Festival, he hopes more people will connect with the services they need but might not otherwise go to. This year’s festival in Lafayette comes at a time when stepped-up immigration detainments have led other Latino festivals in Indiana and across the country to cancel due to safety concerns. Lafayette organizers said cancellation wasn’t an option, after sponsors had already contributed and visas were secured for Banda Filarmónica Vientos Regionales of Oaxaca, Mexico, a two-year process.
