Tifton - Hispanics are the fastest growing group in America, and are growing the fastest right here in Georgia. Approximately 500,000 Hispanics live in Georgia now.

Some Tifton employers say Hispanics are their best workers. And helping them transition into society is key.

Spanish movies, and festivals like the Fiesta del pueblo are events geared toward Hispanics for all to enjoy.

The Fiesta del pueblo will be held next Saturday from 10AM to 10 PM in Fullwood park.
