Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month at this year’s Poudre Pour Arts & Culture Fest.
The Poudre Pour Art and Culture Fest is a family-friendly annual event celebrating our river corridor’s vibrant history and culture.
This year, in partnership with Mexican American History Project: Greeley, Cache NHA will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, honoring the integral role Hispanic culture has played in the history of the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area.
Enjoy civic groups, performers, artisan demos, and activities for all ages – plus a mini food truck rally and the always-popular People’s Choice Award craft brewers competition. Los Martinez Bros and Grupo Presidio will perform live high-energy Latin music of various genres.
“Hispanic culture has been an integral part of the area’s heritage, influencing everything from the region's architecture to its cuisine, from its language to its music and dance,” said Maria Sanchez with MAHPG. “As we commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month, let's take the time to learn from the richness of the Hispanic culture in the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area.”
“In alignment with the America250 theme, Advancing Justice for All: Telling Americans Stories, Cache NHA is prioritizing interpretation that tells inclusive stories and engages diverse communities,” said Sabrina Stoker, Executive Director of Cache NHA. “Partnering with MAHPG allows us to address a gap in the history of the heritage area and provides a platform for Mexican Americans to tell their own story of intellectual, economic, and cultural impact that benefits the community at large.”
Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich historical and cultural tapestry of our region. We hope you will join us in honoring the rich traditions, music, and flavors of northern Colorado’s Hispanic heritage!
