This year’s theme is an invitation to celebrate the richness and diversity of Latine LGBTQ+ communities and to honor the voices, stories, contributions, and joy that make our community so vibrant.
For us, orgullo means pride. Pride in who we are, pride in where we come from, pride in the people who came before us, and pride in the community we continue to build together.

👗👔 Attire
Formal, Semi-Formal, or Cocktail Attire
Orgullo Latine is a celebration, not a costume event. Guests are welcome to incorporate the spirit of the theme through colors, patterns, accessories, or personal style, but there is no expectation to wear a costume or traditional cultural attire.
Come as yourself, dress to celebrate, and get ready for a beautiful night of Orgullo, community, and connection!
