Celebrating Cultural Heritage: A Vibrant Tribute

Anaheim, USAFri Sep 20 2024
As the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort transforms into a vibrant celebration of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month, guests are treated to a colorful explosion of art, music, and culture. The festivities, running from September 15 to October 15, pay homage to the rich traditions and stories of families who have inspired generations. A stunning mural, situated next to the new security plaza, sets the tone with its warm and inviting message: "Welcome Familia, Bienvenidos. " The artwork features whimsical illustrations of "Coco"-inspired imagery, honoring loved ones at an ofrenda, and a lively Mariachi band with dancers. The vibrant flowers painted around the images blend seamlessly with the real plants on the ground, creating a sense of continuity between the two. The nearby stage is transformed into a celebration hub, adorned with round, colorful banners and beds of marigolds. Large floral elements and banners flank the stage, featuring the iconic imagery of hands reaching out towards each other. The same design is replicated on another sign in front of the construction walls, serving as a reminder of the month's significance. The stage comes alive with music performances by DJ Mike Sincere, DJ Jezzy B, and Mariachi Amor, with performance times listed on a sign for guests to plan their visit. Food and beverage options are also highlighted, including the recently opened Céntrico, Paseo, and Tiendita. For the first time, guests can meet Isabela and her sister Luisa from the Disney Pixar film "Encanto" in Disneyland Park, alongside Mirabel. Decorative floral medallions and garlands add a touch of elegance throughout the Downtown Disney District, creating a festive atmosphere that is hard to resist.
