Las Posadas Portland: La Luz de Nuestra Comunidad
Where the Journey Finds its Home: Portland’s First Las Posadas Celebration
December. The days grow short, but our community light shines brightest. Join us for Las Posadas, Portland’s first celebration of its kind—a luminous, family-friendly event designed to honor the warmth, culture, and shared journey that defines us.
This is more than a festival; it’s a living story. Rooted in centuries-old Mexican and Latin American customs, we transform Downtown Portland into a vibrant gathering, a procession of hope and belonging that welcomes a toda la gente, no matter where their path began.

Why We Gather: Celebrating Identity and Resilience
Las Posadas traditionally mark a journey, and in Portland, we reclaim that tradition to celebrate the resilience and heart of our immigrant communities. It’s a moment to honor the ancestral traditions that connect us, celebrating the diversity and shared humanity that allow our community to thrive.
We fill the city with the vibrant colors, rhythmic music, and delicious flavors of Latin America, proving that inclusion and cultural pride are the true spirit of the holidays.
Join us to illuminate downtown Portland with unity and joy.
