Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by making your own mini piñata! Registration required

Registration for this program opens on August 15, 2026. Please register each child separately.

Let's learn a little bit about Hispanic culture and history through piñatas! Piñatas come in many shapes, forms, and colors so come ready with creativity and curiosity.

If you are unable to attend the event, please call 847-429-4685 as soon as possible. This allows another student on the waitlist to attend with adequate notice. We will be taking attendance at the programs, and staff members reserve the right to move a registrant to the waitlist if they are found to be consistently absent from programs.
