A
This
is
one
of
the
best
weekend
in
our
city
as
a
Dominican
festival.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
making
it
possible.
We
are
proud
to
host
this
great
celebration
in
the
heart
of
our
city,
and
certainly
here
on
City
Hall
plaza.
The
contributions
of
our
Dominican
community
are
endless
in
art
in
food
and
music
and
is
so
much
more
I
want
to
congratulate
all
of
you
on
authenticity,
for
the
anniversary
of
the
restoration
of
your
country's
independence.
That's
a
great
celebration.
A
This
is
a
very
special
day
for
the
Dominican
community
and
the
entire
City
of
Austin.
That's
why
we
will
always
honor
the
tradition
and
find
new
ways
to
celebrate
our
great
diverse
cultures.
Today's
flag-raising
kicks
off
a
week
of
celebrations.
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
festivities
and
I
hope
I
see
every
single
one
of
you
at
the
parade
on
Sunday.
Thank
you.
