Hispanic Heritage festival | Tyrol Hill Park - 2026

This year's Tyrol Hill Park Hispanic Festival, held in the Arlington Mill neighborhood, was organized by community activist Janeth Valenzuela and others in the community. It featured many organizations with resources for the citizens, plus dance performances, music, free food, and guest speakers including Commonwealth Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, Sheriff Jose Quiroz, Police Chief Andy Penn, School Board members Zuraya Tapia-Hadley and  Bethany Zecher Sutton, and visits from other elected officials from the Arlington County Board. 

Fun- the dancers with bottles balanced on their heads are from Paraguay.
