The 5th Annual VIVE LA HISPANIDAD is a celebration of Chicago’s Hispanic music, food, dance, and art. The celebration, located at Galleria Marchetti (825 W. Erie St.), allows the community an opportunity to shine a light on the cultural mosaic that makes Chicago so unique.

Move to the rhythm of spectacular live entertainment. Absorb a kaleidoscope of colors and textures featured on the works of local and international Latino painters and sculptors. All this and much more!
VIVE LA HISPANIDAD benefits two leading non-profit organizations: International Latino Cultural Center and The Resurrection Project. Both are dedicated to the continued development of Latino communities through a variety of projects.
