Centre at the Forks
This vibrant event, presented in partnership with Simple Reflections for Artists Collective, proudly honours the rich cultural traditions, creativity, and resilience of Spanish-speaking communities in our city. The afternoon will feature music, dance performances of all kinds, traditional fashion, and community booths, together offering a dynamic and meaningful experience for visitors of all ages.
This year’s celebration is presented in connection with Fashion: Grit, Glamour and Guts, Museum London’s powerful exhibition exploring fashion as a form of storytelling and expression of identity and culture. With over 100 garments and accessories on display, Fashion: Grit, Glamour and Guts draws from Museum London’s community and collections to showcase the deep personal, cultural, and political stories woven into what we wear.
