Event Details
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we will learn about different arts from various Hispanic countries. A vejigante is a common folkloric character seen in Puerto Rico during Carnaval, Santiago Saint Day, and other festival celebrations. The characters march in parades wearing colorful and ornate masks and costumes with bat wings. This afternoon we will be making colorful vejigante masks in the same artistic style.
