Perth Amboy, NJ - The Perth Amboy Free Public Library is excited to announce its 3rd Annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration, a vibrant and family-friendly event that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Hispanic community. The celebration will take place on Saturday, September 30, at the Perth Amboy Free Public Library, and all members of the community are invited to join in the festivities.

The Hispanic Heritage Celebration, a community program initiated by the Perth Amboy Free Public Library's Board of Trustees, has become a beloved tradition that brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to honor and enjoy Hispanic culture. This event promotes cultural awareness, appreciation, and unity among the diverse residents of our city.

This year's celebration promises to be even more spectacular, featuring a wide range of activities and attractions, including:

  • Live Music: Enjoy the rhythms and melodies of traditional and contemporary Hispanic music.
  • Cultural Performances: Experience the vibrant dances and performances that showcase Hispanic heritage.
  • Art Exhibit: Explore the creativity and talent of local artists as they showcase their work.
  • Latino Poets: Be captivated by the words and stories of talented Latino poets.
  • Domino Tournament: Test your skills in a friendly game of dominoes.
  • Children's Activities: Engage the little ones with exciting activities and games.

Last year, we were honored to host nearly 1,500 attendees, and this year, we anticipate having 3,000 people in attendance.
