Celebrating heritage at annual Mercado Days Latino Fest - Port Arthur, Texas

In two groups of three Magali Sanchez, 20, her mom and four cousins held each other at the waist as they danced to the music that pumped from the speakers at the Mercado Days Latino Fest on Saturday.

They were doing the traditional huapango two-step dance, which is indigenous to her mom’s home in Tamaulipas, Mexico.

“We’re dancing people. That’s how we were raised,” said Sanchez, a student at Lamar Institute of Technology. “(The festival) is a good way to represent our Hispanic culture to everyone. It helps eliminate stereotypes people have.”"*
