This year's 17th annual event, Pride & Passion: Sabor, also celebrated Latin American culture by highlighting the sights, sounds and tastes of the region's Tampeño culture. There was food from local Latin American restaurants, a mariachi band and an evening of bachata, cumbia, merengue and salsa. Known for its eclectic mix of people and exquisite decor, the evening showcased breathtaking live performances. The crowd danced the night away as a DJ played tunes until midnight.
