"Latin Beats is our signature program in partnership with the Colorado Symphony. We host a concert every year during Hispanic Heritage month. This year, our theme was Brazil. So we had a genre of Brazil with Samba dancers, and seven artistic guests on stage. This concert is free for the community," said Jesse Martinez, Executive Director of the Mexican Cultural Center.

On Thursday, November 10th, 2022, the Mexican Cultural Center will hold its 30th Anniversary Gala.

"This year's honoree for our legacy honoree is Marcela de la Mar. And we're excited to host this event to really be our biggest fundraiser of the year, offering free programming for the community and families," Martinez said.
