El Grito Fiesta Set For White Salmon On Sunday

A new fiesta, El Grito, will kick off Hispanic Heritage Month at White Salmon’s Rhinegarten Park on Sunday afternoon.  Washington Gorge Action Programs is helping to put on the event, which will include music and food along with organizations available to share resources.  El Grito translates loosely in English as “The Scream.”  It is celebrated as the battle cry that effectively launched Mexico’s War of Independence.  The phrase comes from a speech Father Miguel Hidalgo delivered to his parish in Dolores, Mexico in September of 1810 to inspire a revolt against colonialism and inequity.
