Raíces y Ritmos: The 3rd Annual Afro-Latinx Culture Show

Afro-Latinx Connection de UCLA are the program representatives for this event. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the Afrikan Diaspora and Latinx communities, while educating folks on Afro-Latin cultures, histories, and existence. In addition, our organizational pillars are community, arts and culture, and political and cultural education. We are hosting our third annual culture show on Friday, June 6, 2025 from 5-8 pm in the Covel Grand Horizon Ballroom. The culture show is an event that highlights and celebrates Afro-Latin cultures and histories across Latin America and the Caribbean through dance performances, music, food, oral histories, and guest artist performances. In addition, the culture show serves as a celebratory event where students on campus can organize and cultivate meaningful relations and leadership skills through community, culture, and diversity.

Guests are asked to come in semi-formal attire with blue and green colors to match the tropical theme of the event. Lastly, you don’t have to be Black/Afro-Latinx to attend and support the culture show, but Black Diasporic and Latinx folks are highly encouraged to attend.

Doors open at 4 p.m.

All ages. Tickets are free, but RSVP required.
