Vamos is hosting a magical Noche de Fuerza y Comunidad, a masquerade filled with música, crafted drinks, and delicious bites as we unmask the power of connection and possibility.

Over the last 7 years, Vamos Outdoors Project has centered joy, identidad, and comunidad in everything we do, rooted in the culture and values of the individuals we serve. We’ve created spaces where relationships flourish, youth feel seen, and families connect to the land and to one another. This celebration highlights that journey, and the vibrant future we’re building juntos. Together, we’ll honor the fuerza, alegría, and liderazgo growing within our Latine community. 

*Masquerade attire encouraged (semi-formal). Add your own flair, or touch of mystery, and come dressed to impress! Need inspiration? Check out our moodboard! We’ll have a DIY mask station onsite.
