Hispanic Heritage Weekend (Downtown Lansing)

September 18–21, 2025 | Downtown Lansing

Join Ourspace in Downtown Lansing for a vibrant, multi-day celebration of Hispanic culture, heritage, and community! Ourspace Foundation is proud to present the 3rd Annual 517 Hispanic Heritage Weekend, honoring the rich traditions and lasting contributions of the Hispanic community across Michigan and beyond. 

Why We Celebrate:
Hispanic Heritage Month is observed nationally from September 15 to October 15, recognizing the cultures, histories, and achievements of Americans with ancestry from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. This weekend brings those stories to life through culture, connection, and community celebration.

Weekend Lineup:

Kick off the weekend with a powerful seminar focused on wellness, financial empowerment, and holistic growth. Hear from dynamic voices in the community, access local resources, and walk away inspired and equipped.

Friday, September 19 – Dance Class & Mixer at Lansing Shuffle
