We are excited to host the next Celebration of Latino Alumni on September 18 – September 20, 2026!
The Celebration of Latino Alumni provides a unique chance for all HLS alumni to return to campus and deepen meaningful connections with peers. This vibrant event, fueled by dedicated volunteers, offers a rich blend of intellectual programming, captivating speakers, social gatherings, and a myriad of other engaging activities.
Stay tuned in the coming months for more details, and we hope to see you at the celebration!
Early Bird registration closes on Wednesday, June 17!
Note: Google Chrome is the preferred browser for completing the registration form.
Are you a sponsor? If applicable, please email celebrations@law.harvard.edu to access your complimentary registration.
Harvard Law School has maintained consistent Celebration pricing for many years. In light of rising costs across the event industry, we have made modest adjustments to this year’s fees to ensure we can continue providing a well-organized and meaningful experience for our alumni community.
These adjustments account for a range of essential elements—including venue support, staffing, rentals, and technology—not solely food and beverage. We appreciate your understanding as we work to deliver an exceptional Celebration experience.
Please note that we have added a “Adult Guest Only A la Carte” option to registration. This will allow alumni to register adult guests for the evening meals only without purchasing a full weekend package.
