This year’s “Luz de las Naciones” (Light of the Nations) event is scheduled to take place in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City on Friday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, at 8 p.m.

The annual celebration of Latin American culture hosted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is now in its 22nd year.

This year’s theme is “A thankful heart,” explained the announcement on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

The event features a cast of 1,000 volunteer musical artists wearing traditional clothing and performing music and dances that showcase both traditional and contemporary music from countries like Argentina, Paraguay, Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil and Peru.

“This year’s event is set to be particularly memorable as we express our thankfulness and honor the traditions and people that have made ‘Luz de las Naciones’ such a cherished event over the years,” said Israel González-Nieri, the director of the event.

González-Nieri said each performance will highlight the diversity and richness of Latino heritage and express gratitude through song. “It’s going to be a truly special experience for everyone involved,” he added.
