Nobu Hotel Los Cabos, the Mexico outpost of Nobu Hospitality and luxury lifestyle brand that blends modern luxury and minimal Japanese tradition, announced the continuation of its On Exhibition program with a robust event lineup. From November 24 to 30, 2025, attendees will immerse themselves in a world of creativity, featuring art galleries displaying captivating pieces, live art demonstrations, and exclusive opportunities to acquire unique artworks. In collaboration with Chayul Collective, an art collective creating pop-up experiences that connect people through art, On Exhibition aims to create A Sense of Belonging by exploring what it means to find a home away from home, and ultimately, a home within yourself. This year’s theme, A Sense Of Belonging, draws from the concept of finding comfort not only in a place but also in identity and self. The exhibition invites artists and guests alike to reflect on the meaning of home – whether as a physical space, a sense of self, or an evolving identity. The diverse range of artists ensures a dynamic and eclectic showcase of talent. From traditional painting and sculpture to film and digital art, guests are encouraged to wander through the installations. For more details about On Exhibition, please visit nobuhotels.com/loscabos

With biting humor, Autistic playwright Dave Osmundsen developed his latest stage play, “Bum Bum: or, This Farce Has Autism,” which will premiere at HERE Arts Center from December 4 to 14. Farce meets authenticity in this wild, subversive, and deeply personal satire of performance, representation, and what society really wants from its Disabled artists. The play, produced by EPIC Players, New York’s leading neurodivergent theater company, features a cast of mostly neurodivergent actors. This hilarious original play which flips disability tropes on their head. The talented cast, mostly comprised of neurodivergent actors, will show audiences what they really think about “inspirational stories.” Set during a chaotic live telethon benefiting “Singing and Hearing Autistic Greatness” (aka SAHAG or SHAG), the play follows three Autistic performers as they’re pressured to deliver sanitized, “palatable” routines for a mainstream audience. Lisa is going to perform a little ballet. Sean is going to do a family-friendly comedy routine. And Jason is going to perform with his trusty ventriloquist dummy, Gil McGillicuddy. But the three can only take condescending press reps, problematic pop stars, and the widescale infantilization of autistic people for so long. When they band together to take over the broadcast and perform their less “appropriate” routines, hijinks (naturally) ensue. For more information, visit www.epicplayersnyc.org.

On Sunday, November 2, Mexico City’s iconic Paseo de la Reforma will transform into a river of color, music, and remembrance as the Day of the Dead Grand Parade returns for its highly anticipated 2025 edition. This extraordinary four-hour procession honors those who have passed while celebrating the joy of life, offering visitors from around the globe an unforgettable immersion into one of Mexico’s most cherished cultural traditions. Beginning at the Puerta de los Leones in Chapultepec Park, the parade will wind its way down Paseo de la Reforma, pass Avenida Juárez and 5 de Mayo, and conclude in the heart of the capital at the Zócalo, Mexico City’s grand central square. Along the way, attendees will be treated to a visual and emotional journey that embodies the Mexican spirit. This year’s parade promises to dazzle with monumental Catrinas, larger-than-life floats, and colorful displays of art in motion. Traditional music and folkloric dance will punctuate the route, blending the ancestral with the contemporary in a festival that is both steeped in joy and meaning.Symbolized by the golden glow of cempasúchil (marigold flowers), considered the flower of the dead, the celebration fills Mexico City with fragrance and pops of ochre. Visitors walking alongside the parade will hear the beat of drums, the laughter of families, and the stories of tradition carried across generations. Recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Day of the Dead exemplifies Mexico’s ability to blend ancient Indigenous beliefs with Catholic traditions, creating a cultural expression that resonates worldwide. While the Mexico City parade is the most high-profile event, Day of the Dead celebrations flourish throughout Mexico, each region adding its own distinct flavors and rituals.

In St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the continental United States, Hispanic heritage is more than a historical fact. It’s a living, breathing force that powers tourism and inspires a strong sense of community. Founded by Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés in 1565, St. Augustine was built on Hispanic roots, which are still visible today in the city’s streets, majestic basilica, and landmarks like the Castillo de San Marcos and the Bridge of Lions. The city’s Spanish Colonial architecture, arched passageways, and courtyards form a picturesque backdrop, as well as tell a story of cultural identity, craftsmanship, and resilience that continues to influence every facet of the city’s growth. From the soaring towers of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine to the ornate façades of the Government House, the impressive Mediterranean influenced grand hotels, the beautifully restored Casa Monica, The Alcazar (now Lightner Museum)and The Hotel Ponce de Leon (now Flagler College) each serve as a visual reminder of the region’s Hispanic influence. Even beyond the buildings, the city’s urban design, from its plazas and fountains to its fortress walls, embodies centuries-old planning that prioritized livability, community, and environmental adaptation. Today, nearly 20% of the U.S. population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, and in St. Augustine, that number is a driving force. During Hispanic Heritage Month, local organizations host cultural festivals, art exhibitions, concerts, and culinary events that invite visitors and residents alike to celebrate the diversity of Latin American cultures. But these expressions aren’t limited to one month. Through-out the year St. Augustine embraces the contributions of its Hispanic community. For information, go to www.FloridasHistoricCoast.com.

Through mid-October, Las Vegas will be energized with the sights, sounds and flavors of Hispanic Heritage Month – offering vibrant entertainment, spirited events, festive cuisines and captivating special displays. World-class entertainers, musicians and comedians will deliver spectacular performances, showcasing what makes Las Vegas the premier destination to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

The Gibbes Museum of Art, a beacon for the arts in the American South since its establishment in 1858, announces the world premiere of Picturing Freedom: Harriet Tubman and the Combahee River Raid (May 23 ‒ October 5). The visionary multimedia exhibition is inspired by the award-winning book by Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black (the Pulitzer organization just announced that her book won the 2025 Pulitzer in History). Her book Combee: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom during the Civil War (Oxford University Press) details a previously untold chapter in our country’s history. On that fateful moonlit night in June of 1863, Tubman led the largest slave rebellion in U.S. history. Dr. Fields- Black is descended from one of the participants of the freedom raid. The museum exhibition brings to life the heroic raid, when 756 enslaved people liberated themselves in six hours ‒ more than ten times the number of people Tubman rescued during her ten years of work on the Underground Railroad. The raid was carried out by one of the earliest all-Black regiments of the Union army. The Gibbes Museum has invited Dr. Vanessa Thaxton-Ward as the guest curator for the Picturing Freedom exhibition. She is the Director of Hampton University Museum, and hand-picked artworks from institutions and private collections across the United States. Never before has a grouping of works of this size and scope, honoring Harriet Tubman throughout more than 100 years of American artmaking, been presented this way. She has selected artworks by major artists (including Jacob Lawrence, Faith Ringgold and William H. Johnson), and by emerging contemporary artists (including Stephen Towns, Terry Plater, and Kevin Pullen).The paintings, sculptures and mixed media works are featured alongside photographs of the region by J Henry Fair, video and audio installations, historic images, and material objects.
