Guests will mingle and connect\, dance to music played by local Latina DJs\, and enjoy a showcase of works by local Latinx photographers\, designers and creatives. \nThis event is the result of a project by the Portland-based multi-media artist\, graphic designer\, and illustrator Aline Chercover (aka Barrio Girlz)\, who received a 2026-2027 Milagro Artist Fund grant to support printing of her magazine. Chercover’s work—driven by culture and centered on identity and femininity—aims to document and uplift voices often overlooked\, while building spaces where representation feels unapologetic and real. Their practice spans illustration\, editorial design\, and self-directed publishing\, including the independently produced magazine and years of work released under their Barrio Girlz brand. \nRunning time: 3 hours\nAge recommendation: 18+ URL:https://hispanicmetrochamber.org/event/tertulia-discoteka-magazine-launch-party-with-barrio-girlz/ LOCATION:El Zócalo\, 537 SE Stark Street\, Portland\, O\, 97214\, United States CATEGORIES:Member Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hispanicmetrochamber.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Barrio-Girlz.png ORGANIZER;CN="Milagro":MAILTO:wayne@milagro.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260927T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260927T180000 DTSTAMP:20260818T215235Z CREATED:20260818T215235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260818T215235Z UID:10003217-1790510400-1790532000@hispanicmetrochamber.org SUMMARY:El Festival de Mariachi DESCRIPTION:🎉 Vive la mejor música con mariachis que resuenan contigo 🎉 \nEl Festival de Mariachi vuelve en 2026 con mucha más alegría.

Each Monday\, community members join us in the field to support seasonal maintenance and harvest fresh produce for local food distribution. \nVolunteers participate in hands-on agricultural work\, planting\, weeding\, harvesting\, washing\, and packing\, while learning how food moves from soil to community. A portion of each harvest supports local food access efforts\, helping ensure fresh\, culturally relevant produce reaches families in our area. Volunteers are also invited to take home a share of the harvest as appreciation for their time and contribution. \nThis is an opportunity to build practical skills\, connect with the land\, and take part in a consistent\, meaningful effort to grow and share food with dignity and care. \nNo prior experience is necessary. All are welcome.
