This vibrant event, presented in partnership with Simple Reflections for Artists Collective, proudly honours the rich cultural traditions, creativity, and resilience of Spanish-speaking communities in our city. The afternoon will feature music, dance performances of all kinds, traditional fashion, and community booths, together offering a dynamic and meaningful experience for visitors of all ages.
This year’s celebration is presented in connection with Fashion: Grit, Glamour and Guts, Museum London’s powerful exhibition exploring fashion as a form of storytelling and expression of identity and culture. This exhibition features more than 100 garments and accessories ranging from carnival costumes to workwear and evening gowns representing the voices and contributions of over 25 community members and local designers. With over 100 garments and accessories on display, Fashion: Grit, Glamour and Guts draws from Museum London’s community and collections to showcase the deep personal, cultural, and political stories woven into what we wear.
They are grateful for their partnership with the London Heritage Council, whose support has made this celebration accessible to the wider community. They also honour Canada’s recognition of Latin American Heritage Month, highlighting the rich histories and identities of Spanish-speaking communities nationwide. This community event is presented as part of London Heritage Council’s 24th annual Doors Open London, celebrating the Sights, Sounds, and Stories in our City.
