The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden invites the community to celebrate Hispanic heritage and culture during its Hispanic Heritage Celebration, returning Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13-14. This colorful, family-friendly festival honors Latin traditions through music, food and community partnerships — all set within the Arboretum’s nationally acclaimed garden setting. Held the weekend before the opening of ¡Mundo México! at Autumn at the Arboretum, this year’s celebration kicks off a season-long exploration of Mexican art, history and innovation. Guests can enjoy live music from local bands, vibrant artisan markets and more, then return in the weeks ahead to experience large-scale installations and immersive garden displays inspired by Mexico’s diverse regions. Tickets are available at dallasarboretum.org. — Anna Jordan
