Sherman Theater President and CEO Rich Berkowitz is excited to bring this event to the Poconos. “We are excited to bring the Latin Fusion Fest to downtown Stroudsburg. Prior to Covid, we had a Latin Quarter as part of Stroudfest and there was so much interest in that, we dedicated an entire event to the Latin and Caribbean cultures,” said Berkowitz. “We appreciate the support of DJ Ruby and the sponsors and we are happy to be able to make it happen for everyone.”
