July 9, 2010 – The Utah Chilean Community of Utah are proud to honor and celebrate their culture’s independence and expansion of their community within the Utah regions. Not only are they commemorating their country’s 200 years of independence, but are dedicating their rejoice to their family and friends that are struggling with the damage and impact the earthquake in Chile has caused.
The event will take place at Noah’s South Jordan from 7-10 pm, with music and dance entertainment by performers from Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Mexico, to provide the evening with the appropriate cultural flare. Also, a benefit concert by popular Utah singer Peter Breinholt will kick off the event and perform until 8 pm.
The Utah Chilean Community debuted their presence in Utah in 1998, but did not become a formal organization until 2009, where the committee registered with the state and became a non-profit organization.
Norberto Castro, the President of the Chilean Community, has stated, “There are already 1,400-1,500 people expected to attend our event.” Hence, this was two weeks ago, and Castro would like to “Invite people to be part of this effort to help raise money for the earthquake in Chile.”
Tickets are $20 at the door, which will cover the cost of dinner, live music with Breinholt, and international dance performances. The location of Noah’s South Jordan is 322 West 1100 South, South Jordan, UT 84095.
