Hola Community Arts is Honored at Asheville Holiday Parade

Our community celebrates winning 1st Place in the 72nd Asheville Holiday Parade!!! The parade judges awarded points based on presentation, originality and creativity. This year's parade featured over 100 entries.

This award is appropriately deserved by our Latino community, Ministerio Danza Guadalupana De Asheville, along with our many partners who have collaborated in achieving our Vision: “Building bridges between cultures, embracing diversity and creating more economically vibrant communities.”

“The holidays seem to wave a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is kinder and more beautiful," said Adriana Chavela, Executive Director of Hola Community Arts. "The Asheville Holiday Parade is a day of hope, peace and love and we are honored to be part of the celebration.”

A very special thank you to the Asheville Downtown Association, City of Asheville and the enormous amount of volunteers that make this event so special.

WLOS-TV will broadcast the live recording of the parade on Christmas morning from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
