Saturday night will be one filled with food and fun as the Association of Latin American Students hosts its annual Hispanic Heritage banquet at 6 p.m. in the Hayden Clark Alumni Center. “The banquet is our biggest event of the heritage month, and we use it to showcase a variety of Latin American cultures,” A.L.A.S. president Arely Herrera said. “In the past, we’ve had banquets cen- tered around specific countries like Mexico and Columbia.” Herrera said there will be live performances at the banquet. “At the banquet there will be a quebradita performer who will also give bachata lessons after their performance,” Herrera, a senior social work major, said. “Then there will be a DJ playing for the rest of the night. Salsa club will also perform.” A.L.A.S. vice president Ileana Ruiz said this year the banquet will not be limited to one country photo by Christopher Noonan or culture.
