The third "Raizado" cultural festival organized by Latinx House, celebrating Latino excellence in Aspen, Colorado, was held. The event brought together personalities such as Elizabeth Velasco, author Sandra Cisneros, and other notables from the Latino community to discuss and celebrate topics of cultural and social relevance.

Mónica Ramírez, founder of Latinx House, explained that the name "Raizado" symbolizes the rootedness of the Latino community in the United States, comparing it to local poplar trees. The festival, exclusive in character and limited to 250 guests, was designed to promote deep and meaningful connections between participants.

The festival included a variety of activities, such as master classes with Indigenous chefs, discussions on the impact of Latinos on the U.S. economy, and panels addressing topics such as paid family leave, water sustainability, and threats to democracy. Ana Valdez, president of the Latino Donor Collaborative, highlighted the fundamental role of Latinos in the American economy, emphasizing the need to recognize this contribution.

The Raizado program also included a Community Day, with lectures on representation and visibility. One of the highlights was John Quiñones and María Elena Salinas' presentation on their work in Uvalde, Texas, after a school shooting, highlighting the resilience of the Latino community.

Ramírez expressed his commitment to continuing the festival for at least 10 years, with plans to expand the social impact of the event, possibly by integrating art and music classes into the local community.

The festival's publication also highlights the importance of Latino representation and strengthening cultural roots in the U.S., through events that promote unity, discussion of social issues and recognition of the vital role of Latinos in American society.
