    More than 13,000 people attended Festival Latino last week with most going the first day of the event when admission was $1.

    Admission was charged during the event, held Friday and Saturday, for the first time in its 13-year history. Organizers said financial struggles prompted the change along with shorter hours.

    On the first night of the festival, 12,144 people attended, compared with 942 who attended Saturday’s concert when festival admission was $30, according to the city’s Recreation and Parks Department.

    Because admission was not charged at previous festivals, there are no accurate attendance numbers with which to compare, Wiser said.
