Latin America Festival in Charlotte, NC

We were planning a trip to Charlotte, NC and I ran across this link. Has anyone been and is it worth going? We live 2 hours away and would just make a weekend out of it.

We have not been, but have heard that it is an excellent event. Each year, we plan to get there, but something always pops up that prevents us from going. I've heard the new location (symphony park rather than the lawn of the Mint Museum) is a much better location. I've not heard anything bad about it. Hope you can get to come this year....Hope we can actually make it this year, too!

I will have just moved to the Charlotte area (just north of Charlotte) and am looking forward to going. Hope to see some of you there! Would love to meet families from the Charlotte area!
