Gallery: Students celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at Entra a La Plaza

September 23, 2023 by Sarah Thompson

The student-run Hispanos Unidos club put together its annual Entra a La Plaza to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Attendees were able to experience authentic Hispanic traditions like traditional Hispanic food, dancing with live music, a petting zoo, and offered selections from local businesses like Mary’s Paleteria. Bidi Bidi Banda made a special appearance, closing the night with a Selena Tribute.
