Braves celebrate Hispanic and Latino culture with 10th annual Los Bravos Night

Atlanta Braves hold their 10th annual Los Bravos Night to celebrate Hispanic and Latino culture at Truist Park. Fans from across the Southeast gather to honor the heritage and contributions of the Latino community within Braves Country. Blanca Morrugarez, a fan from Rome, Georgia, brings her family to share her Salvadoran and Mexican heritage with her children.

The night features live salsa music, Latin dance performances, face painting, and an ofrenda—a Mexican tradition honoring loved ones who have passed on. Over 100 fans contributed personal items to the ofrenda, including photographs, candles, and flowers. Erin McCormick, the Braves' senior director of social impact, explains that the ofrenda allows fans to share their traditions and memories.

The Los Bravos initiative began in 2017, expanding the team's efforts to connect with Hispanic and Latino fans through Spanish-language programming, community events, and recognition of Latino players and staff. This special Friday night event brings together diverse communities to enjoy baseball while celebrating their shared heritage.
