Sadly, Wabash Valley Progressives have decided to cancel Festival Latino 2025 for the safety of our Latino community. We hope to bring the back festival back in the near future. 

In 2017, Wabash Valley Progressives decided we wanted to find a way to honor the Latino community. The first Festival Latino was held at the Vincennes Riverwalk in August with overwhelming support from our community. We invite you to enjoy traditional dance, food, music, and activities for children while expressing gratitude and support for the Latino community.

Each year in April, Wabash Valley Progressives invites everyone to come together to learn more about the community and our work. Past speakers include Burgundy Fletcher, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, Brian Southern of AgroRenew, Amy and Andy Jendrewzjeski of Art Space Vincennes, and Will Ditzler of The Nature Conservancy.

Wabash Valley Progressives support conservation and the natural environment. We support efforts to increase the use of native plants and the removal of invasive species as well as recycling and the appreciation of our natural areas.

On July 4, 2025, Wabash Valley Progressives marched in the Independence Day parade in Vincennes to celebrate freedom, diversity, the environment, and equal rights.

Wabash Valley Progressives supports Ukraine in their fight to save their county and freedom. On March 5, 2022, a diverse group of more than 60 people from across the Wabash Valley marched in a show of solidarity.

Wabash Valley Progressives advocates for social equity and works to create a more diverse and inclusive community. To this end, we created Building Bridges, a series of community discussions on race. Our first session featured Jim Sims, Monroe County NAACP President at the Knox County Public Library. Meghan Quinn and Tyson Sims, instructors in higher education, led the second discussion. We plan to continue to engage community members in discussions on race and equity to make this a better place to live for everyone.

The March for Science champions science as a pillar of human freedom and well-being. Our very first public event in 2017, Wabash Valley Progressives led a march from the Vincennes Riverfront Pavilion. At our 2018 event, we planted an oak tree on the Vincennes Riverwalk. March for Science featured educational and fun activities for kids, and informative speakers on issues including climate change.
