How to Get Tickets for the 2026 Latino Leadership Awards Gala at Bally’s

There is no night in Northwest Louisiana quite like this one! If you know me, you know how close the Latino Leadership Awards & Scholarship Gala is to my heart. Back in 2025, I had the absolute honor of receiving the Artist Award from the Hispanic Heritage Association of Northwest Louisiana, and as a proud daughter of an immigrant, standing in a room overflowing with dream-chasers, entrepreneurs, and visionary leaders was a moment I will cherish forever.

Now, it’s time to get dressed up and celebrate the absolute best of our community at the Latino Leadership Awards & Scholarship Gala 2026!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Bally’s Casino in downtown Shreveport.

Since 2006, the Hispanic Heritage Association of NLA has hosted this incredible, high-energy formal celebration to honor the outstanding Hispanic leaders, professionals, and small business owners making a real impact across our region. Even better? The entire evening raises vital funds for educational scholarships that empower our local Hispanic youth to pursue higher education and achieve their biggest dreams.

This is truly the premier cultural event of the season, and your ticket gives you access to the entire experience:

A delicious, full formal dinner and inspiring awards program

Direct networking with local leaders, trailblazers, and community champions

Official admission to the high-energy After-Party at Bally’s Celebrity Lounge (starting at 10:00 PM on the 2nd floor!)

Individual tickets are $200, and reserved tables for 8 are available for $1,500 (formal attire required). Tickets sell fast for this unforgettable evening, so do not wait to grab yours.
