Eight years of celebrating the entrepreneurs, artists, community leaders, and everyday heroes who define Latino Michigan.
EVENT
Talentos Latinos Awards
YEAR
2026
LOCATION
Lincoln Manor · Lincoln Park, MI
DATE
October 2, 2026
More than a gala.
A movement.
Since 2019, the Talentos Latinos Awards has been Michigan’s stage for the stories that don’t make front pages — the entrepreneur who rebuilt after losing everything, the teacher who stayed, the artist who kept the culture alive in a new city.
Each year we honor unsung heroes across categories from entrepreneurship and education to community service and the arts. The evening includes folkloric dance performances, live music, keynote speakers, and a room full of people who show up for each other.
