Celebrate culture, empowerment, and unity at Pittsburgh's first city-wide Hispanic Heritage
Festival! The Community Festival is a part of a larger series of events in the Hispanic Heritage
Festival by the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation, UC
Entertainment and the Roberto Clemente Museum. This includes the Farruko Concert at PPG Paints
Arena, the Community Festival and a celebration of Roberto Clemente's 3000th hit. This special day
promises an unforgettable day filled with festivities, and entertainment that promises to draw
national attention while showcasing our city's rich cultural fabric.

The Hispanic Heritage Community Festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September
30th, 2023, from 9:30 am to 2 pm at the Heinz History Center. The festival promises to be a day filled with joy, cultural pride, and community spirit. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy live music performances, cultural showcases, food and beverage offerings, and a diverse array of community vendors.

Hispanic Heritage Month serves as a dedicated time to celebrate the diverse history, traditions, and
achievements of Hispanics, fostering cultural appreciation and understanding in our society.
Embracing and promoting the richness of Hispanic culture reinforces the values of inclusivity,
diversity, and unity, which are essential for building a stronger and more vibrant community.

EZELL: BALLAD OF A LAND MAN
A Parable of Domination & Resilience from the Foothills of Appalachia

Outdoor Eco-Cultural Experience of Theater, Music, Meal & Journey:
September 28, 29 & 30 and October 1 along the Allegheny River at Tree Pittsburgh

Ezell: Ballad of a Land Man is an environmental, cultural and spiritual parable derived from living in the foothills of Appalachia, one man among many seeking to make sense of the time, place and condition in which we live. In the story, Ezell's choices, traumas and ancestors intersect with themes of domination and resilience as he seeks to take advantage of an anticipated fracking boom and the opportunity to reconnect with the people and land of his raising.

The performance of Ezell is surrounded by an immersive experience that calls to our collective desire for connection and belonging, that reveres nature and binds us intimately within its embrace, that invokes the resilience, love and lessons of our ancestors and generations yet to come.

We acknowledge the privilege and complexity of living, working and producing this experience on the lands of the Allegheny River as well as the Aniyunwiyvi (Cherokee), Shawanwaki (Shawnee) and other peoples indigenous to the place form which Ezell arose. We strive to be good stewards of the lands and to resolve the legacies of oppression and domination that have come before and persist today. We offer the experience of Ezell with a humble, healing spirit and in recognition of all those who have come before and are yet to come in this place and in all the places we visit.
