COMUNICADO OFICIAL
Lamentamos informar que SUMAQ Peruvian Food Festival 2025, programado para los días 23 y 24 de agosto, no se llevará a cabo este año.
Esta difícil decisión se debe a los retrasos por parte de las autoridades locales en aprobar el lugar propuesto, lo que nos deja sin el tiempo suficiente para organizar el evento con la calidad y seguridad que nuestra comunidad merece. Además, entendemos la creciente preocupación por las redadas migratorias recientes, y no queremos exponer a nuestros asistentes, participantes ni colaboradores a
ningún tipo de riesgo.
Sin embargo, queremos anunciar que sí celebraremos el "Fin de Semana de la Gastronomía Peruana", una fecha oficial reconocida por la Asamblea Estatal del Estado de Nueva York, que rinde homenaje al aporte cultural y culinario de nuestra gastronomía peruana.
Muy pronto daremos detalles sobre esta celebración alternativa, que mantendrá viva la esencia de SUMAQ Peruvian Food Festival y el orgullo de nuestras raíces peruanas.
Agradecemos profundamente su valioso apoyo y comprensión.
¡Nos reencontraremos muy pronto!
Equipo SUMAQ PFF.
