Celebrating a tradition bigger than any one organization
In 2026, Nuestras Raíces is honored to help lead, preserve, and uplift the long-standing Hispanic Festival and Parade tradition. While Nuestras Raíces itself is not turning 50, this celebration recognizes five decades of community-rooted heritage, pride, education, and service in Delaware.
What began as a cultural tradition has grown into a powerful platform for outreach, engagement, visibility, and year-round community empowerment. Together, we honor those who built this legacy and celebrate the vibrant future ahead.
