Hispanic Heritage Festival of the Carolinas

08/26/2025

This morning’s news and social media filled us with sadness as we saw friends, families, and neighbors being deported. It reminded us of the difficult choice we had to make: to cancel this year’s festival. Over the past month, the reality in our city — and across the country — has only become heavier for our community.

🙏 This is not about politics. It’s about people — protecting, caring for, and standing with our community. A festival filled with incredible music, amazing vendors, and talented performers only has meaning when we can all gather without fear, safely and freely.

❤ Though it hurts, we know this was the right decision. And we promise you: next year, we’ll return stronger than ever — united, resilient, and ready to celebrate together as one community.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - The Hispanic Heritage Festival of the Carolinas held in Uptown has been canceled for 2025 due to concerns about deportations.This years festival would have been the fourth anniversary at Truist Field in Uptown.“The immigration temperature is a little bit hot right now. We are very concerned that the festival may be targeted, the families targeted, we decided to put in pause, hold it off until next year,” said co-founder of the event, Rick Herrera. “We don’t want to put our community that could be in any kind of danger.”There have been several arrests by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE in the Greater Charlotte Metro area, such as those in Kings Mountain, and outside the Mecklenburg County Courthouse. Herrera was born in Ecuador and came to the Charlotte when he was 8-years-old. He said as an Ecuadorian American it has been tough to see these raids.“The ICE raids are very unfortunate because its every segment of the community, not just undocumented community, but also the legal community that are going through their legal process whether you apply for a visa or your legally here,” Herrera said.Cofounder said they hope they can hold the festival next year.“It’s tough when you hear someone say let’s be patient, more that we have to be resilient, Latinos are not the only community that stands strong, and this will simmer over,” Herrera said.Credit & Copyright 2025 WBTV.
