3rd Year Anniversary Vendor Application

Join us for our 3rd Year Anniversary Party, Saturday April 7th from 12 -8pm a food and cultural festival in the heart of Southeast Portland!

Last year we welcomed many vendors and sponsors, raised money for ACLU and Hacienda CDC and contributed to an estimated economic impact of over $35,000.

To compliment the diversity of foods and beverages, there will be a wide variety of high quality Latin American entertainment including live music, dancing, kid friendly activities and art.
