Celebrate Culture this Summer in Salem

at Multicultural Day

Music, dance, cultural traditions, and community come together during a celebration of the many cultures that help shape Oregon. This free event invites visitors to learn, connect, and experience the diversity of the people who call Oregon home. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug 22 at the Oregon State Capitol.

at Hispanic Heritage Day

Celebrate the diverse cultures and traditions of Oregon’s Hispanic and Latino communities through music, dance, and family-friendly activities. This annual event brings together performers, community organizations, and cultural partners for a day of celebration, connection, and learning. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sep 12 at the Oregon State Capitol.

at the Second Friday Ceili

No partner. No experience. No problem. The Second Friday Ceili pairs live Celtic tunes with beginner-friendly community dancing, creating an evening where the goal is less about getting the steps right and more about having a good time. A short lesson gets everyone moving before the dance floor fills for the rest of the night. Recurring at 7 p.m. on the second Friday of the month year-round at the VFW Hall, 630 Hood St NE. ceiliofthevalley.org
