Latin countries on the world.

Our Team

Our team is made up of passionate and dedicated individuals with more than 20 years of experience in Event Production, and leaders in the Central Oregon Latin community. Marcos Rodriguez of Hola Restaurants is producing the celebration. We aim to bring an exciting new event to Bend that will highlight the rich cultural tradition of Latin America.


A portion of the proceeds of the festival will benefit Street Dog Hero.

  

Street Dog Hero serves dogs in need, and their communities, around the world through rescue operations, spay/neuter and wellness clinics, public education, and adoption services. Since being founded in Bend in 2017, SDH has helped find homes for more than 3,000 pets that previously suffered from neglect, hunger, or abuse. In 2024, their goal is to expand their international clinics and offer low-cost or free local clinics each month.
