Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the Northern Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at Nationals Park

On the vibrant evening of September 15, 2025, at 6:00 PM, something unforgettable will unfold at Nationals Park — a celebration where culture, community, and America’s favorite pastime unite in a spirited tribute to Hispanic Heritage Month. Hosted by the Northern Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in partnership Washington Nationals, this special event brings together families, professionals, and baseball fans for a night of pride, passion, and powerful storytelling. As the Washington Nationals face off against the Atlanta Braves, the stadium will come alive not only with cheers but with the heartbeat of Hispanic culture.

The evening will open with a breathtaking rendition of the National Anthem, performed by Jonathan Acosta — la nueva voz de América. Known for his powerful vocals and soul-stirring presence, Jonathan will set the tone for a night to remember. But this isn’t just a game — it’s an experience.

Each ticket includes an exclusive limited-edition Washington Nationals jacket, featuring original artwork by renowned local Latino artist Josue Martinez. His design, inspired by heritage and hope, turns every jacket into a wearable masterpiece that captures the strength and beauty of the Hispanic community. Expect more than baseball: enjoy Latin music, a pre-game cultural showcase, and the chance to connect with business leaders and community trailblazers. Whether you come for the game, the art, or the culture — you’ll leave uplifted and proud.

Join us as we fill the ballpark with orgullo, unity, and celebration — because Hispanic Heritage Month deserves to be seen, heard, and cheered on. Let’s make history. Together.

Tickets are limited — reserve yours early and don’t miss your chance to own the exclusive Nats  jacket.

Tired of applying, following up, and still hearing crickets? This workshop breaks down why recruiters ghost, how to flip the script, and what makes them call back.

  • What to say (and not say) to keep their attention

  • How to build relationships that last beyond one job search

What You’ll Walk Away With:
