People took to the streets in downtown Houston for Colombian Fest 2019, a celebration of the Colombian Declaration of Independence and its culture.

The event was awash in yellows, blues and reds as Houstonians donned the colors of the Colombian flag. Organizers brought in musicians from Colombia and adjacent countries, including Jean Carlos Centeno and Héctor Acosta "El Torito".

And it wouldn't be a proper cultural festival without food and local art exhibitions either.
