Feria de la Salud

Uno de los beneficios más significativos de nuestra feria de salud es que permiten a las personas controlar su salud sin costo alguno.

Esto es particularmente importante para las personas que no tienen seguro médico o tienen acceso limitado a la atención médica. La feria de la salud ofrece exámenes gratuitos de presión arterial, colesterol, azúcar de la sangre y otras afecciones de salud que comúnmente se asocian con enfermedades crónicas como diabetes, enfermedades cardíacas e hipertensión.

Al detectar estas afecciones temprano, las personas pueden tomar medidas preventivas, como cambios en el estilo de vida y tratamiento médico, para controlar o incluso revertir la progresión de la enfermedad.

Health Fair

One of the most significant benefits of our health fair is that they enable individuals to have their health checked at no cost.

This is particularly important for people who do not have health insurance or have limited access to healthcare. Health fairs offer free screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other health conditions that are commonly associated with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.

By detecting these conditions early, individuals can take preventive measures, such as lifestyle changes and medical treatment, to manage or even reverse the disease’s progression.

Dates and Times

Sunday Sept. 21, 2025 1-5 p.m.

Location

Masterson Station Park

About the Festival Latino de Lexington

– The Festival is the largest Latino Heritage event in Kentucky;

– In fact, it’s the largest such event in the surrounding states except for the Festival Latino of Columbus, OH;

– Traditionally we featured many regional vendors offering Latino food, crafts, and on many occasions we have live performing by sculptors, painters, and other plastic arts artists;

– We have featured international performers such as the Los Tigres del Norte band from Mexico, Xtreme from Dominican Republic via New York, Calle 8 Band from Costa Rica, Grupo Fuego from Puerto Rico via Cleveland, OH, Group of Zamba from Brasil.

– We promote the event regionally including newspapers in the Bluegrass Area (Herald Leader, La Voz of Kentucky) and in the Louisville area (Al Dia en America), and Spanish and English radio stations;

– For more than 10 years we count with the sponsorship from companies such as Toyota, Lexmark International, PNC Bank, BB&T Bank, 5/3 Bank, Supermercados Aguascalientes.

– The Festival Latino of Lexington has become an excellent example of collaboration between the local government (via the Department of Parks and Recreation), the private sector, and our community.
