This vibrant annual event celebrates the multicultural women and women-identifying individuals within the Mexican American and Latina/o/x/e community in Austin.
In a groundbreaking move, the ESB MACC has joined hands with The Cathedral gallery in 2024 to create a more intimate space for the event. This partnership aims to build a unique environment where women can feel seen, heard, and empowered.
The event will feature programming from various organizations such as Contigo Wellness and Austin Public Health, spotlighting mental health and wellness. This programming will help emphasize the wider aspects of celebration, bringing focus to the importance of mental and physical wellness.
