Not only are we here to celebrate Hispanic Heritage, we are here to recognize and honor Hispanics in the community who have made tremendous contributions. Each honoree was selected by their respective peers for his or her outstanding contributions toward enhancing the quality of life and advancement of the Tampa community. This celebration framed with music and joy will recognize how Florida’s growing and contributing Hispanic population enriches our state and strengthens Florida’s cultural and economic ties with Latin American roots. The diversity of Florida’s people and cultures truly makes Tampa one of the most vibrant communities’ in the country.
