Celebrating our
shared heritage Spain
Don’t miss our largest and most prestigious event!
Latino Ball is an evening of music, culture and business education that brings together Latino-American professionals from Pennsylvania and other regions of the United States.
Each year we’ve featured a Latino-American country at the Ball. This year we’re doing something different: Recognizing Spain’s legacy in the Americas while celebrating a journey toward redemption, growth and unity. The Ball promises to be a heartfelt tribute to our shared history, an acknowledgment of a complex past and a joyous celebration of our heritage. It’ll be an unforgettable night, with delicious food, open bar, arts and live entertainment. Everyone is welcome, so come one, come all! We look forward to seeing you there.

About the Latino Ball
Latino Connection, a social-determinants-of-health marketing and communications firm specializing in reaching multicultural communities in PA and beyond, is proud to present for its 11th year the Latino Ball.
In 2013, George Fernandez — CEO of Color & Culture and Latino Connection — partnered with award-winning magazine, TheBurg, to create Lo Mejor de Lo Mejor (LMLM). LMLM recognized businesses and corporations for their ongoing efforts to provide excellent customer service to Latinos in South Central Pennsylvania.
Four years later, LMLM became the statewide celebration, Latino Ball, awarding individuals who are making great strides towards the wellness and livelihood of their communities throughout the commonwealth.
For organizations and businesses looking to better understand and reach Latino audiences, the Ball offers a great (and very fun!) opportunity to connect with and learn from Latino leaders and professionals.
