The annual Hispanic Fest in Kenner is canceled this year because of concerns about immigration enforcement activity.
City officials decided last week to call off the event at the Kenner Boat Launch after hearing from Hispanic residents who are nervous about attending public events amid recent increases in activity by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Kenner has nearly 20,000 Hispanic residents, more than any other city in Louisiana.
