Viva North Platte

Viva North Platte is much more than a celebration, it connects, educates, and empowers! Viva North Platte is an annual Hispanic-Latino festival that aims to become a tradition in North Platte.

We celebrate culture, youth, arts, and history in the Lincoln County area. Our festival features a variety of performances, workshops, and activities that showcase talent and diversity, including the crowning of a Latina Queen & Princess, who serve as positive role models for youth in the community. Viva North Platte’s mission is to promote education, empowerment, and cultural appreciation within the Hispanic-Latino community, and to create a platform for individuals to showcase their talents and achievements.
