Centro in the News: 

Centro Hispano’s annual Tres Reyes Celebration will be a walk-thru event this year
“There is just so much tradition in the Tres Reyes holiday for Latino families. For me, memories of being a part of events like that in El Salvador where I grew up … it’s more than the three kings coming for the birth. It’s about the symbolism in the community and neighborhoods coming together to celebrate culture,” says Karen Menéndez Coller, executive director of Centro Hispano of Dane County. “It’s part of our heritage. Trying to keep that here at Centro Hispano is really important, especially right now where so many people are feeling so excluded from so many things that are happening in this country.”

Centro Hispano to host 6th annual virtual “Evening of Dreaming” event tonight
A collaboration with PBS Wisconsin, the event over the past few years has featured award-winning author Reyna Grande, cutting-edge filmmaker Philip Rodriguez, local artists and chefs for a Pop-Up Exhibition, and the popular band Las Cafeteras. Tonight’s “Evening of Dreaming” will be, according to Centro Executive Director Karen Menéndez Coller, a “time to unwind and really take the reins on what it means to be Latinx in this community.”
