Celebrating Hispanic American Heritage Month Through the Arts

September 15th through October 15th is Hispanic American Heritage Month, a time to honor and celebrate the diverse histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latin American communities. When it comes to culture and diversity, we believe that the arts are one of the most powerful ways to connect, learn, and celebrate together.

This year, we’re bringing that spirit to life with a Mini Latin American Festival on Saturday, September 27th—a vibrant day of music, food, art, and community.

What to Expect

• Live Performance by Grupo Cultural Latinos en Rochester Experience the rhythms, dances, and traditions of Latin America through an exciting cultural performance.

• Delicious Food by El Morro Savor authentic flavors that celebrate the heart and soul of Puerto Rican cuisine.

• Art and Creations for Sale Discover unique pieces from talented local artists:

  • Joshua Lopez – vibrant works of pop culture and personal reflections

  • Vampicabra Curio – imaginative creations with a modern, folkloric twist using natural items through assemblage.

Why It Matters

Hispanic American Heritage Month is not just about reflection, it’s about celebration. By gathering as a community, enjoying music, art, and food, we honor the past while embracing the creativity and vitality of the present. Festivals like this remind us how art brings people together across cultures, languages, and generations.

Join the Celebration!

We invite everyone to come together for this special event. Bring your family, bring your friends, and come ready to enjoy a day filled with culture, flavor, and artistry.

Let’s celebrate Hispanic American Heritage Month—through the arts, through community, and together.
