COME CELEBRATE WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH!
A Full Day of Connection, Opportunity, and Celebration
Last year’s Hispanic Heritage Month event drew over 300 attendees—and this year, we’re expecting even more!
Proceeds from the 2025 Latino Business Expo fuel programs that empower small and minority-owned Hispanic businesses, from financial literacy and licensing guidance to networking, capital access, and government contracting opportunities.
