Patrons enjoy music at the Hispanic Heritage Celebration

Join the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center for a festive evening in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month! From Spanish explorers, to Mexican traders and laborers, to recent Central and South American immigrants, the Kansas City region has deep Latino history. Today, the Latino community is Johnson County’s fastest growing population. National Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the cultures and contributions of Latino Americans across the United States.

This event is FREE and open to the public. No tickets required.

The Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration will feature a diverse array of activities and performances, and Crystal Hernandez of KCTV5 serving as emcee:

Performances by Mariachi Estrella KC, Alma Tapatia, and Voces Festivas.

Free admission to the Johnson County Museum and KidScape.

A special Walk and Read from Johnson County Library.
