Harbor Commissioner Mario Cordero will serve as Grand Marshal of the 2nd Annual Latin American Parade & Festival on Seot. 25.

Spanish singer Shaila Durcal will be honored as the event's Celebrity Marshal.

The Community Marshals will be Centro CHA Executive Director Jessica Quintana and "bicycle ambassador" Tony Cruz.

The office of Councilman Robert Garcia and the Downtown Long Beach Associates (DLBA) named the four recently.

"This is a great opportunity to recognize the incredible talent, enthusiasm and commitment of these Latino leaders," said Garcia in a prepared statement. "I don't think we could have chosen people more deserving of this honor."

Garcia and the DLBA will host a 6-8 p.m. reception Sept. 8 at Hotel Maya . The public is invited to attend and should RSVP to cory.allen@longbeach.gov.

The parade begins at 1 p.m. on Pine Avenue from Sixth Street to Broadway and ends in the East Village Arts District with a festival of Latin-American arts, music, dancing and food.

For more details, call 562.570-6919 or visit district1@longbeach.gov.
