Hispanic Herritage Celebration

Celebrate Hispanic cultures through music, dance, poetry and art. Festivities include lively folk dances — from Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Puerto Rico — and visual art by Latin American artists. This celebration will include poetry from Vanessa Chica Ferreira, Isabel Cruz, Hugo Gonzalez and Matthew Marroquín who will share passionate words about cultural identities and life experiences. The annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration is co-hosted this year by the Newark Public Library and NJPAC’s Latin Advisory Committee and Las Jardineras, the Latin Employee Resource Group. Light refreshments will be served.
