September 15 through October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month!

 

Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration of the history and culture of the U.S. Latino and Hispanic communities. Hispanic Heritage Month 2024 will last from Sunday, September 15, 2024 through Tuesday, October 15, 2024. At City Theatrical, we celebrated by asking our employees who hail from Latin American countries to bring in one item that reminds them of their country or heritage. Learn more and help us celebrate the people behind City Theatrical products in the page to follow.
