During Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15 – Oct 15), Austin FC proudly celebrates the many local Latino leaders who help shape our city, a commitment the Club champions year-round. Austin FC will host its annual Hispanic Heritage Night during the match against the Seattle Sounders FC on September 21. The match will include Mariachi Voz de Pasión performing at various locations, including Telco Terrace during Q2’s pre-match, an instrumental version of the U.S. National Anthem, and other special activities.

For more than four decades, Sylvia Orozco has been a driving force in Austin’s cultural landscape, creating a space where Mexican and Latin American art can thrive.

As co-founder and Executive Director of Mexic-Arte Museum, Sylvia has dedicated her life to preserving heritage, celebrating creativity, and opening doors for new generations of artists. Through exhibitions, education, and community traditions like the city’s largest Día de los Muertos celebration, she has shaped a space that belongs to Austin—and to the world.
