Description
Fiestas Patrias commemorates the independence of Latin American countries, many of which celebrate their national Independence Day in September. This festival is a celebration of Latinos: our culture, art, music, food, dances, and many other traditions that have accumulated over the centuries. This event is free and open to the public.
The 2024 “Unifying Our Communities” theme symbolizes the proud heritage of who we are and where we come from by celebrating the diversity in color, culture, customs, and languages. We highlight the need for unity among our diversity; we are part of one global village, body, and country with many colorful, diverse cultures and perspectives. Sea Mar aims to connect with organizations, groups, and individuals to learn and share more about the Latino culture.
Fiestas Patrias is hosted by Sea Mar Community Health Centers in partnership with Seattle Center Festál and takes place on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15. Throughout the two-day event at Seattle Center, attendees can enjoy delicious traditional Latin American food, live music, traditional folk-dance performances, a health fair offering health information, free health screenings, Zumba and Viva Art Exhibit, children’s activities and more.
Enjoy the fiesta, and let’s celebrate all the different colors!
