Join the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center for a festive evening in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, where Voces Festivas will be a featured performer for the third year in a row! This is a FREE event offered by Johnson County Parks and Recreation.

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.

During this free event, participants can expect an immersive experience with hands-on activities including music, food, representatives of the Lowrider Bike Club, and a ‘Walk and Read’ event on the JCAHC grounds hosted by the Johnson County Library. The William Baker Choral Foundation will also have an informational table, as well, with ethnic instruments for all to try out.

Admission to the Johnson County Museum, which is also located inside JCAHC, will be free during this event and includes admission to a temporary special exhibit, "Free to Be...A 1960s Fashion Revolution," which takes visitors on a captivating journey through the vibrant world of 1960s women's fashion.
