Overview

Celebrate Hispanic heritage by joining us for the 3rd annual Día de los Miles 5K and kids’ fun runs! The event features a mercado showcasing the talents of local Latino artists.

Día De Los Miles is a benefit event that supports the Latino Center of Art and Culture, a Sacramento-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting the artistic, economic, and cultural development of the region’s Latinx community. Originating from the Chicano Civil Rights Movement, LCAC focuses on presenting underrepresented Latinx voices, fostering cultural pride, and supporting marginalized communities. By highlighting traditional and emerging Latinx artists, the Center plays a key role in preserving cultural heritage and promoting social justice through the arts.
