Perth Amboy, NJ — The Perth Amboy Free Public Library is proud to announce its 5th Annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration, a vibrant and family-friendly event honoring the rich cultural contributions of the Hispanic community. The celebration will take place on Saturday, October 4, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Perth Amboy Free Public Library, and we warmly invite residents of all ages to join us in this joyful tribute to heritage, art, and unity.

This year’s celebration is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors. We are deeply grateful to our Platinum Donor, Gonzalez, Tulio & Blache, LLC, and to our Gold Sponsors, Ocean First Bank and T&M Associates, Civil Engineering Firm USA.
