Latino & Hispanic Heritage Celebrations 2025
Latinos En Spokane is deeply committed to honoring and preserving Hispanic culture through our annual Cultural Events and Hispanic Heritage Month festivities. These celebrations are pivotal moments of joy and recognition, highlighting the vibrant contributions of Hispanic communities in Spokane.
-
This year, due to rising immigration enforcement and safety concerns, we’re moving these celebrations into El Mercadito a smaller, community-led space where traditions can thrive in a safe, welcoming environment. This shift also lets us direct more resources to programs that provide direct support and long-term impact for the families we serve.
Join us in honoring our heritage, building unity, and keeping our community safe and strong.
