Panamá vive aquí. We’re building the answer to a question thousands of Panamanians ask every time they move to a new American city: where is everybody?

Our mission
Unite, empower, and celebrate

PanaHub exists to unite, empower, and celebrate the Panamanian community across the United States — one trusted platform for connection, opportunity, culture, and growth.

We’re a small community with a big diaspora, spread thin across dozens of states. The businesses, associations, and events exist — they’re just invisible unless you already know someone. PanaHub makes them findable.

What we’re solving
Disconnection, misinformation, loneliness, and a lack of accessible resources — especially for newcomers and for second-generation Panamanian-Americans looking to reconnect with their heritage.
Who it’s for
Panamanians, Panamanian-Americans, and anyone connected to Panama living in the United States — from someone who landed last week to a family three generations in.
Verification
How we confirm what’s on here

A directory is only worth as much as its accuracy. We never label a business as Panamanian-owned just because its name contains “Panama” or because it serves Latin food. Every listing carries one of these statuses:

✓ Verified Panamanian
Credible information confirms the owner, founder, or organization has a genuine Panamanian connection. Listings carry a last-verified date.
Verification Pending
We have a credible lead but haven’t confirmed ownership yet. Shown honestly rather than hidden or overstated.
Official Government Resource
Embassies and consulates. These never receive an ownership badge — they’re government services, not businesses.
This gets built by the community

Every listing on PanaHub came from someone who knew about it. If we’re missing a business, an association, an event, or a scholarship — tell us.

Panamanians Worldwide

Panamanians beyond the United States

Panamanian businesses, restaurants, organizations, students, and official resources across Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the rest of the Americas. Wherever the diaspora lands, there's a Hub for it.

Starting with what's verifiable. Panama's embassies and consulates are the anchor of every diaspora community abroad — they're listed first. Community businesses and organizations are added as members submit them, so this page grows outward from official posts to the real network around them.

Start Here
You don't have to have grown up there to belong to it.

Plenty of us grew up on hojaldres and tamborito without ever learning the history behind them. Others were raised in the U.S. speaking more English than Spanish, holding a heritage they were never formally taught.

This section is that education — written plainly, sourced carefully, and free. Take it in any order you want.

If you only learn one thing
Panama was a crossing long before it was a canal.

Every wave that passed through the isthmus — Spanish, African, Caribbean, Chinese, Indigenous, American — stayed and left something in the food, the music, and the language. That layering isn't a footnote to Panamanian identity. It is Panamanian identity.

1855 — the railroad
The first transcontinental railroad in the Americas drew workers from the Caribbean, China, and Europe.
17th century — the Congos
Africans escaping colonial plantations founded free communities near Portobelo. The tradition is still danced today.
1999 — the handover
Panama took full control of the canal, closing a century-long chapter of foreign administration.
For parents & teachers

Every track is written to be read aloud or assigned. Use it for heritage nights, Spanish class, or a kid asking questions you weren't taught the answers to.

Bring it into your kitchen

The food track pairs each dish with the region it comes from. The best versions were never written down — send us your family's.

Then find your people

Reading about tamborito is one thing. Standing in a crowd at a Panamanian festival is another. See what's happening in your state.

Five centuries as the crossroads of the world

Panama’s story is the story of a passage — every empire, every migration, and every era left something behind. This is the shape of it.

Dance & folk traditions

Panamanian folk music is a hybrid of Spanish, Amerindian, and African cultures — and three of its traditions carry UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status.
