Mayor Lovely Warren joined promoters of the third annual ROC the Park Music Festival in announcing this year's lineup.

Warren says new this year is a "Latino Family Night."

"We have a lot of Latin artists that are local as well, and we should give them an opportunity to showcase, and I said absolutely, that's what the ROC the Park series is for," she said.

Warren says the ROC the Park series allows local musicians a chance to display their talents.

Freddie Colon is with the Rochester Hispanic Heritage Committee, which helped organize the inaugural Latino Family Night.

"We need to showcase a lot of this young talent that we have, right here in Rochester, New York," he said.
