Sponsor & Vendor Opportunities

First Annual Hispanic Heritage Festival

Saturday, October 3, 2026

Como Comunidad is bringing Columbia its first annual Hispanic Heritage Festival — a free, family-friendly celebration featuring live mariachi music, traditional Mexican folklórico dance, inflatables, food vendors, and activities for kids. This is a community-wide celebration of Hispanic culture and heritage, and it’s the kind of event that only happens because local businesses and organizations step up as sponsors and vendors.

As a sponsor or vendor, your business or organization won’t just be seen on a banner or at a table — you’ll be part of building a new Columbia tradition, and you’ll be directly supporting Como Comunidad’s year-round work connecting Missouri’s immigrant families with language access, housing education, healthcare navigation, and emergency assistance.

Vendor Opportunities

Just want a table — no sponsorship package needed? Vendor space is $25 per table, and we especially welcome businesses and organizations with a Hispanic/Latino cultural focus. If you’re joining as a vendor, we ask that you include some kind of Hispanic/Latino cultural display or activity at your table — a product, a tradition, a hands-on activity, anything that adds to the spirit of the festival. Not sure where to start? We’re happy to help you brainstorm.

Space is limited, and priority will be given to vendors with a direct Hispanic/Latino cultural connection. If the $25 fee is a barrier, or your organization directly aligns with the festival’s mission, a fee waiver may be available at the organizers’ discretion — just let us know in the notes section of the form below.
