Join us for the Maryland Hispanic Bar Association’s signature event of the year, the 33rd Annual Gala, where the legal community gathers to honor excellence, uplift Latino voices, and celebrate our shared commitment to justice and equity.

​

Held on Friday, September 18, 2026, at the elegant Turf Valley Resort, this formal black tie event brings together attorneys, judges, public officials, and community leaders from across Maryland and beyond.

​

“Rhythm and Roots” is this year’s theme, a celebration of where we come from and how those beginnings continue to shape who we are becoming. It honors the stories carried through generations, the traditions we inherit, the memories we preserve, and the cultures that ground us, while embracing the forward movement of growth, change, and progress. This year’s theme also reflects the continued progress of the Maryland Hispanic Bar Association’s Gala, building on the momentum of last year’s sold out event and carrying that energy forward.

​

This theme reflects the meaningful connections that define our lives, quiet moments of family, vibrant expressions of community, enduring cultural traditions, and deeply personal milestones. It recognizes the rhythms that guide us and the roots that anchor and inspire us over time. Through “Rhythm and Roots,” we celebrate a shared narrative, a tapestry of lived experiences that highlights both the strength of our foundations and the beauty of our evolving journeys.

​

The Gala supports MHBA’s year round initiatives, including scholarships, mentorship programs, and advocacy efforts that empower the next generation of Hispanic legal professionals.

​

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, this is your opportunity to be part of a powerful movement and an inspiring celebration.
