The Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce invites you to join us for our most celebrated evening of the year — the Signature Mariposa Gala & Awards Celebration. This signature event brings together business leaders, community champions, and friends of the Hispanic community for a night of elegance, inspiration, and well-deserved recognition.
Each year, the Mariposa Gala serves as a powerful reminder of how far our community has come and a bold declaration of where we are headed. Named after the mariposa — the butterfly — this event honors the transformative journeys of those who have spread their wings to uplift, empower, and elevate the Quad Cities region.
This year, we are proud to unveil our 2026 theme:
"Mariposas, Beyond the Garden: Expanding Our Roots, Elevating Our Community"
Just as a butterfly's journey does not end at the garden's edge, our community's growth knows no boundaries. This theme celebrates the courage to venture beyond the familiar, to plant roots in new places, and to rise together in ways that create lasting impact for generations to come.
The Mariposa Gala is also our premier awards ceremony, where we proudly honor outstanding individuals and organizations who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the growth and advancement of the Hispanic community and the broader Quad Cities region. Award categories and nominees will be announced in the coming weeks.
This event is for anyone who believes in the power of community — business professionals, civic leaders, entrepreneurs, advocates, and allies who are passionate about celebrating diversity and driving positive change in the Quad Cities.
Tickets and sponsorship packages will be available soon. Individual tickets, table packages, and sponsorship opportunities are offered to fit a range of budgets and organizational goals. Sponsoring the Mariposa Gala is a meaningful way to demonstrate your commitment to the Hispanic community while gaining valuable visibility among regional leaders and decision-makers.
Stay tuned for ticketing links and sponsorship details, or contact us directly for more information.
