Celebrity Dinner

THANK YOU for your generous support of our 2024 Noche Cubana Tropical!

Our 2024 Noche Cubana Tropical was a smashing, sold-out success! Thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and participants who helped make the evening so special.

Stay tuned for news about our next Noche Cubana Tropical, set for Spring of 2025! We will be moving to a new location to accommodate the incredible interest we have received in this event!

Noche Cubana Tropical 2025…
Bigger venue, Bigger sound, Bigger dance floor… Bigger fun!

¡Bailemos! 🌴🇨🇺 Make plans to join us next year for The Spirit Center's most anticipated event of the year! 🇨🇺🌴

Noche Cubana Tropical is an exciting evening of dinner and dancing, fun and fedoras, cocktails and all things Cubana... it will be a night to remember! Come take a stroll through Calle Ocho to experience a night in Old Havana and enjoy authentic cuisine, live music, a Cuban mercado, tropical drinks… and the highlight of the evening, “Dancing with the Celebrities!”

This event benefits the Fannie Bluntzer Nason Renewal Center, dba The Spirit Center, a 501(c)(3) ministry of the Order of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament.

In December of 2023, the Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution dedicating the 2024 Noche Cubana Tropical event
to the honor and memory of our beloved Sister Martha Ann Snapka!
