Enjoy a day of fun at Brookfield Zoo while celebrating Hispanic culture on Saturday, September 24, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The zoo’s East Mall will be filled with music and dance that highlight Latin American countries. The event will kick off with a Celebration Parade at 11:00 a.m. with performances by Ballet Folklorico Sones Mexicanos and The Chicago Mariachi Project. Additional live entertainment scheduled includes performances by DJ Pascual Gonzalez, who will play tunes to dance to at 1:30 p.m. and Guitarist Ruben Amaro at 2:00 p.m. During the celebration, families can meet some of the zoo’s Animal Ambassadors, enjoy live music and dancing, and make crafts with the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana. Guests can also meet the Chicago Zoological Society’s King Science Conservation Scholars as they share information about some of the zoo’s animals. There will also be Latin American food and drinks available for purchase at the zoo’s Castaway Grill. In addition, meet Cook County Commissioners Jesus “Chuy” Garcia and Luis Arroyo, Jr., both great supporters of this celebration. Staff members of the Society’s Arcoiris group, whose mission is to achieve organizational excellence through diversity, host this event.
