Comité de Fiestas Patrias y Tradiciones de Charlotte (CFPTC) (Charlotte’s Patriotic Celebrations and Traditions Committee), is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, whose purpose is to celebrate the identity and culture of Latin Americans and Spaniards currently living in Mecklenburg and adjacent counties. Our objective is to pass on to new generations, born in the United States, the knowledge about the countries of their ancestors. Also, to promote among immigrants the appreciation for the nation in which we reside. We believe the Hispanic Community is a beautiful, diverse, melting pot of races, beliefs, traditions and customs, that deserve an opportunity.
