The Hispanic Heritage Celebration gives Mall visitors an opportunity to experience the diverse cultures and flavors of various Latin American countries through colorful, energetic fashion shows and interactive entertainment as local leaders are recognized through the award program.
On Friday, Sept. 27, the celebration begins with the “Noche de Honor” Charity Reception with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Simon Youth Foundation, as the Mall recognizes extraordinary Hispanic individuals during a presentation of the newest fall fashion look.
On Saturday, Sept. 28, the event continues with weekend festivities that include authentic folkloric music and fiery dance performances, country heritage exhibits, art and flag displays, live entertainment and a spirited parade of native dresses from South America, Central America and the Caribbean, presented by the City of Doral.
