Family started festival, remains hub of Orlando’s Latin community – (the Medina family + Fiesta Medina)

Tagged: , , , ,

“Not only did the Medinas unpack and stay, the couple bought a house, raised three daughters, started a business, launched a festival and, along the way, helped make Orlando more welcoming for Hispanics.Medina’s Grocery and Restaurant at East Washington Street and Bumby Avenue is the oldest Hispanic grocery in Orlando. It anchors other shops that cater to Latinos.

The Medinas were also instrumental in starting the city’s oldest Latin festival, Fiesta Medina, which attracts tens of thousands to downtown Orlando every spring. This year’s festival is Sunday.”*
