about the Dallas maestros
The Dallas Maestros have been an institution in the North Texas Latino community for over 10 years. They have taken place in many iconic locations across the city, honoring some of the most influential Latinos in the area. In 2016, we celebrated our 10 year anniversary, commemorating all of our past maestros across the country. This year, we will be honoring 4 of the biggest game changers in the community. This year, the ceremony will be held at the Dallas Scottish Rite Cathedral on October 25th beginning at 6 PM. Please refer to the Program section for a detailed itenerary.
This year, we will be honoring the following diverse group of individuals. Select their photo to learn more about each Maestro.
