2026 Noche Cubana Tropical

What a night!

Noche Cubana Tropical 2026 was our biggest and best ever, with more than 350 people coming out to enjoy live music, dancing, games, and so much more… all in support of the mission of The Spirit Center! We are so grateful for each and every one of you attended, and all those who played a role in making this event such a huge success. We couldn’t have done it without you!

This year our special honorees were Sister Michelle Marie Kuntscher and Sister Barbara Netek!
It was our honor to pay tribute to the dream, vision, and efforts of these Sisters in making The Spirit Center what it is today.


A very special thank you to our generous sponsors and donors!
