October Green Drinks: Latino Heritage Celebration

Sep 15 – Oct 15, 2025 is Hispanic Heritage Month, and in honor of the Latino Community in Central Oregon, TEC is using its platform to co-host this community event, focusing on the Latino community, art, food, dance, small businesses, hair and beauty, culture, and music. This event is not a fundraiser for TEC; rather, it’s about standing in solidarity with those in our community who experience systemic harm,  and displacement. We aim to find strength together through joy, tradition, healing, and mutual aid. All donations raised will directly support local efforts, including food assistance, emergency needs, and direct help for families. We will coordinate with the Latino Community Association and Immigration Counseling services to determine where to donate funds. 100% of proceeds will be donated to LCA to support immigrant families.

The event will feature local food, art, music, dance, and vendors, all centered around Latino culture. It’s an opportunity to celebrate together and raise funds for local migrant and immigrant families facing hardship.

This will be a free public event, open to everyone, with free participation for Latino vendors, performers, and creatives. While suggested donations at the door are welcome, they are not required.
