Upcoming Events

Here to Stay: Conversaciones
Friday, September 18, 2026
6 to 9 p.m.
Free

A bilingual community conversation exploring food as memory, identity, migration, and connection to our roots—featuring local chefs and food
Join VozEs Expresión Cultural for Nuestros Sabores, a special edition of Here to Stay: Conversaciones, exploring food as a connection to our roots and as part of the immigrant experience.

Through an intimate, organic, and bilingual conversation, local chefs and food entrepreneurs will share the dishes, ingredients, traditions, and memories they have carried from their places of origin—and how those traditions have found new ways to live, evolve, and create community after migration.

But we don’t want to only talk about food. We want to share it.

Each of the panelists will bring a small bite or tasting connected to their culture, personal history, or culinary tradition, giving attendees an opportunity to experience some of the flavors behind the stories shared that evening.

The conversation will flow naturally between English and Spanish, with each participant encouraged to speak in the language in which they feel most comfortable. Rather than a formal presentation, the evening is designed as a genuine exchange between our guests and the community.
