The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center will showcase the vibrant music, dance, theater and cultural traditions that have shaped the Hispanic community.

Dynamic performances include:

The City of Aventura opens its 2026-27 season in a partnership with FUNDarte and Miami-Dade County Auditorium with El Perro del Hortelano (The Dog in the Manger) at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10 at 8p.m. and Sunday, October 11 at 2 p.m. Written by Lope de Vega, the play is a comedy of desire, jealousy and power. Countess Diana of Belflor prides herself on her independence and rejects all noble suitors until she discovers her secretary, Teodoro, is in love with Marcela, one of her ladies-in-waiting. Caught between pride and passion, Diana sets off a clever and dangerous game of manipulation, in which words become weapons and love becomes a contest of control. Witty, seductive and sharply observed, this Spanish Golden Age classic explores the line between desire and refusal, revealing how love, ambition and social class collide onstage and off. The production is presented in Spanish with English subtitles and is not appropriate for children age 4 and under.

Migguel Anggelo’s acclaimed ICONS series returns to the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center with a dynamic new concert celebrating the music that has shaped Latiné culture worldwide. Led by Anggelo’s unmistakable voice, humor and theatrical flair, ICONS: Latin Rhythms is a joyful celebration of songs loved across generations. The performance is 8 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17 and features music by artists including Rubén Blades and Oscar D’León, alongside Anggelo’s original work. The show blends classic sounds with modern style through fresh arrangements, unexpected mashups and playful surprises. Directed by Adrian Alea, with music direction by Jaime Lozano and an all-star lineup of musicians and special guests, this vibrant concert is a celebration of rhythm, connection and culture.

The City of Aventura partners with FUNDarte to present La Velada: An Alchemy of Past and Present as part of the FL.Flamencos series, co-presented with the Miami-Dade County Auditorium Away From Home series, at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Saturday, October 24, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, October 25, at 2 p.m. The performance explores the meeting point between traditional Flamenco and the present moment. Inspired by the legacy of Flamenco and those who came before her, Marta Gálvez transforms inherited movement and memory into a personal, contemporary expression rooted in history yet distinctly modern. Born in Spain, Gálvez began her Flamenco training at age three and earned a degree in Spanish dance before continuing her studies at the Andalusian Dance Center. She has performed with leading companies and artists, including David Coria, María Pagés, Úrsula López, José Porcel and Juan Carlos Avecilla. Her honors include the Outstanding Dancer Prize (2015) and the Young Flamenco Artists Award from the Provincial Council of Córdoba (2023).
