Rhode Island Latino Arts | Sabor Latino 2025
In September 1988, RILA’s Executive Director launched the first statewide observance of Hispanic Heritage Month in Rhode Island, celebrated each year from September 15 to October 15. That first effort sparked a tradition that continues to grow, shining a light on the histories, voices, and cultural expressions of Latinos across the state.
To mark the beginning of the month-long celebration, we host Sabor Latino—a community fiesta filled with food, music, dance, and art. Over the years, Sabor has become our annual fundraiser and a time when neighbors, friends, and families come together to share traditions and enjoy the richness of Latino cultures.
We invite you to join us this year at Sabor Latino and enjoy a taste of what makes our community so special—authentic cuisine, live performances, and creative works that reflect our many stories.
