Latincouver is bringing its big cultural celebration back to Langley City with the return of Carnavalito on the Road.

After the success of Carnavalito in 2024, the organizers are hoping to make this year's event even bigger.


"It was so very very nice when we were in Langley," said Paola Murillo, Latincouver founder and executive director. "…Our own team was 'Wow, people were so open and happy we were there."


Murillo added that the vendor feedback was great after the 2024 event.


So Latincouver, the community group devoted to spotlighting Latin cultures, returns to Douglas Park with the festival that run from noon until 9 p.m. This one-day celebration on Saturday, Aug. 30 recreates the feeling of a Latin American city plaza with multiple cultural areas and programming for all ages.


Visitors can enjoy live music from Latin bands representing Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and more, with popular rhythms like samba, cumbia, and mariachi.

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
