Welcome to the Smoke Show! Introducing the newest MiLB Copa de la Diversion identity, El Humo de Winston-Salem! "El Humo" translates to "the smoke", a nod to the iconic brick smokestacks that put Winston-Salem on the map, thanks to R.J. Reynolds. Today, Winston-Salem's evolution into the City of Arts and Innovation highlights the thriving Hispanic and Latin-owned businesses that fuel the community's entrepreneurial spirit. Each element of the "El Humo" brand holds significance - the smokestacks create the "H" for Humo, and the vibrant colors celebrate the rich traditions and lively spirit of the Hispanic culture.
Winston-Salem is home to one of the Triad’s largest cultural festivals, FIESTA!. This Twin City community tradition, organized by The Hispanic League, is held in downtown Winston-Salem every September to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month and welcomes over 20,000 people during the one-day event.
MiLB's "Copa de la Diversión" initiative, or "Fun Cup," is a season-long event series specifically designed to embrace the culture and values that resonate most with participating teams' local U.S. Hispanic/Latino communities.
