A FESTIVAL of Latin culture is coming to the North-East.
The month-long Vamos programme, which runs in Newcastle and Gateshead, from June 14 until July 14, is a celebration of all things Spanish and Portuguese.
Organisers have arranged a host of live music, visual art exhibitions, authentic cuisine, seminars and picnics at locations across Tyneside.
Festival director Nik Barrera said: “Vamos really is for everyone and we hope the line-up this year will enthuse families and visitors to the region as well as the region's creatives, artists, students and lovers of the arts through its varied and high quality programming.”
The official launch event to promote the festival took place today (Monday, May 13) at The Cluny in Ouseburn.
