Event Calendar

This once in a lifetime celebration marks Encuentro's coming to age, 15-years of community service. Typically, a quinceañera is a cultural celebration marking a girl's 15th birthday, symbolizing her transition from childhood to womanhood and her introduction to society as an adult. The celebration is a festive party marking a significant rite of passage in many Hispanic cultures. Born together in 2010 with our sister organization, New Mexico Immigrant Law Center (NMILC), this gala will take place on October 24, 2026 at Sandia Casino.
