Theme: “Hispanic Americans: A History Of Serving Our Nation” 

On Friday, October 25, 2019, the Mohawk Valley Latino Association will hold its 16th Annual Gala at the Delta Marriott Utica, 200 Genesee Street, Utica from 5:30-11:00 PM. This event is held each year to celebrate Hispanic Heritage, and to honor local community members.

This year’s celebration will culminate the 2019 annual Hispanic Heritage month events for MVLA. The live entertainment will be performed by DeeJaay Richy “En La Mezcla(In the Mix)”.

This event is truly special for the Association because it serves as a formal occasion for members of the Latino community to learn from each other, while we welcome other members of the community who are not Latino, to attend because it is a great learning experience, and networking opportunity for everyone.

This year’s celebration will honor several local Latino businesses: Joel’s Restaurant, Techno-Logic Solutions, Flawless Dolls Forever, Tito’s Barber Shop, Hiandra’s Beauty Salon, Tacos Cinco de Mayo and Naizli’s Creations Boutique. 

Sponsors of this year’s event include: Utica Phoenix Radio, 95.5 FM The Heat, CNY Latino, YWCA Mohawk Valley, AmeriCU Credit Union, Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, MVP Health, Mohawk Valley Health Systems, Adirondack Bank, United Healthcare, Jose Perez, Esq., Bank of Utica, Price Chopper Supermarkets, and the Mohawk Valley Latino Association.

The Mohawk Valley Latino Association was established to improve the standards of living for Latino residents of the Mohawk Valley through various services that will educate and empower them; to achieve awareness amongst the different cultures of the Mohawk Valley; and to help shape the minds of our youth and demonstrate to them the great opportunities available within the Mohawk Valley and our Nation.
