Salsa on the Square Returns for a Special Edition

For one weekend only 3CDC, Procter & Gamble, Hispanic Chamber and Su Casa, are hosting a celebration to bring Cincinnati’s Salsa community together--from a safe distance. 

What would have been the 12th season of Salsa on the Square will now be a special three-night event to kickoff Hispanic Heritage Month.  We encourage you to attend only one night to allow others to enjoy the celebration. Also, on Sept 17th there will be an exciting community announcement from the P&G Always & Always Discreet brands, as the Hispanic community has been one of the hardest hit during the Pandemic.  

National Hispanic Heritage Month is a period from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. In our community, we have many Hispanic Americans that are impacting favorably how we live and are excited about sharing their traditions and talents with us.  

This year Salsa on the Square is partnering with Su Casa to raise the visibility of the organization and connect those in need. They are a primary provider of social, case management, family reunification, educational, and health promotion services to the Hispanic/Latino community in Greater Cincinnati.
