Memphis Spanish Academy

Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee. Its population continues to grow, including the Spanish-speaking population. During the last US census, 643,122 residents were counted in Memphis. Just over 30,000 people names themselves as being of Hispanic or Latino origin. Of those, most – 22,476 – said they speak Spanish as their primary language in the home.

Because of its growing Spanish-speaking community, Memphis celebrates the Hispanic and Latino heritage in many ways, including the Latin Spring Festival. The full-day family festival is put on by Latino Memphis, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the well being of the Memphis Hispanic and Latino community. Latin Spring Festival, otherwise known as the Fiesta De Primavera Latina, celebrates the Latino-Hispanic American culture and encourages the Memphis community to embrace its differences and similarities.
