¡HOLA!

Qué wow, that was the most amazing UMANI Festival ever.

We, as organizers (Columbia Basin Allied Arts, Moses Lake Public Library and EDUBS C/S) and major contributors (Moses Lake Museum & Art Center and Moses Lake Creative District), are so honored you came out to have a great time with us and celebrate the fact that our community has its own vibrant Hispanic heritage that we all interact with every day!

Thanks to our sponsors EnvyUs Lawn Care & Landscaping LLC, MK Concrete & Excavation, Green Roads LLC, Cobie's Fine Dry Cleaning AND MORE which will be thanked over the next couple weeks. Also a huge thanks to Youth Dynamics Moses Lake who hosted us in their building for Lucha Wrestling! PLEASE give all our sponsors a follow - this makes a huge difference for local businesses!

The weather was perfect, the roads were paved (thanks Moses Lake, Washington - Municipal Government!), performances were amazing, the food was incredible, the cars were STUNNING and you all were so beautiful, fun and chill!

We are already looking forward to next year! Mark your calendars for the last Saturday in September 2026! AND, in the meantime, please DM or email us about joining the UMANI Festival Community Advisory Committee and SHARE YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS with us! You can send them or just tag us - specifically looking for photos of Mariachi Noroeste playing on the street (not stage) and, of course... the lowriders hopping.

¡Mil gracias a todos! En serio.
