The festival is on May 20th this year in Echo Park. You may also want to check out the Cuban festival they have in Long Beach, but you have to pay for that one. Last year, Willy Chirino headlined the event, and this year, La Orq. Aragon is headlining. You can find Cubans all over So. Cali. But your best bet is to go to the Echo Park festival and just ask. There's no one place in L.A. where Cubans are centered like in Miami or in Union City, New Jesery. There are a lot of Cubans in the Echo Park community and in Lynwood, Downey and in Orange County, but we all seem to get together in one place durring the festivals in Long Beach and in Echo Park. Hope that helps.

Dear Debra, Iam a volunteer in Los Angeles with the International Rescue Committee, a refugee relief and resettlement organization. I wanted to know where in Southern California I might be able to find Cuban refugees, to let them know that they are eligible to petition for their spouse, unmarried children under 21, or parents to join them here. I wanted to pass on the information as well as get some information from you. Thank you. Jamie Rau
