Sesame Place San Diego To Offer All-New Hispanic Heritage Celebration

SAN DIEGO, CA — Sesame Place San Diego is celebrating the Hispanic community with an all-new event.

Families can celebrate and learn about Hispanic cultures during Hispanic Heritage Celebration at the Chula Vista-based water park. The event, which is in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, will take place on select dates Oct. 6-15.

"The Sesame Street brand excels at celebrating and creating inclusiveness for all communities and we are honored to bring this new event to Sesame Place San Diego to celebrate the Hispanic community," said Genaro Castro, vice president of Sesame Place San Diego. "We hope guests will feel excited to see their culture reflected in the event's activities, and that those outside of the Hispanic community can learn more about the diverse culture and customs."

Hispanic Heritage Celebration will feature a Spanish language version of the "Welcome To Our Street" theater show, the "Furry Friends ¡A Bailar! Dance Party," bilingual storytime sessions with Big Bird, a Sesame Street-themed game of Lotería with Rosita, and meet and greets with Rosita. The park will also offer festive decor and special treats, including elote, fruit, nachos and tacos.

In addition to Hispanic Heritage Celebration, the park is also celebrating The Count's Halloween Spooktacular through Oct. 29. Water rides and slides will also remain open through the end of the month.
