2026 Tri-Cities Hispanic Chamber Gala Dinner
Friday, October 16, 2026, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PMHAPO Center
The Tri-Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is proud to present our Annual Gala, Floreciendo Juntos (Blooming Together) : A Celebration of Community & Achievement. Join us on Friday, October 16, 2026 beginning at 6:00 PM at the HAPO Center in Pasco, Washington . Inspired by the Mexican marigold, a flower that begins as a small seed before blooming into vibrant fields of color, this year's theme reflects the journey of our community. Through hard work, resilience, collaboration, and a shared vision for the future, we continue to grow stronger together. Floreciendo Juntos reminds us that when we invest in one another, our entire community blooms. Together, we honor those whose dedication, leadership, and service have strengthened our businesses, inspired future generations, and enriched the Tri-Cities. Throughout the evening, we will recognize outstanding individuals and organizations in the areas of business, education, nonprofit service, and public leadership, along with our distinguished Community Leader of the Year. These honorees are selected through nominations submitted by community members, making each award a true reflection of the people whose lives have been touched by their work.
