The mission of LatinxFest is to bear witness to the cultural contribution of the migrant community and to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. 

​

Through the diverse artistic expressions of our community, we aim to change the negative narrative about our community and showcase the greatest and most important aspects of our culture – a culture reflected in the food, music, poetry, and dance of our people, a gathering full of flavors and joy, honoring the diversity and spirit of the community in Athens and its surrounding areas. 

​

This becomes an opportunity to learn about the cultures of other peoples because, although we are Hispanic, we are also from different countries. Thus, Peruvians learn from Mexicans and Brazilians, a cultural diversity as diverse as the participants of our festival. This is a space dedicated to artistic expression, living traditions, and the convergence of identities.
