Throughout the evening, students recited poetry by renowned Hispanic authors and performed musical pieces from celebrated Hispanic musicians. Audiences were treated to energetic salsa performances, elegant Salvadoreñas dances in traditional attire, and Dominican dances that filled the stage with rhythm and movement.

The evening concluded with a powerful performance by the North Babylon High School dancers, who showcased a mix of Hispanic genres, blending contemporary and traditional styles to close the celebration on a high note.
