Sunday, September 28, 2025 · 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM

Explore the vibrant cultures and traditions of Latin America in the beautiful natural settings of The Morton Arboretum at Celebración de los Árboles on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Celebración de los Árboles honors the vibrant cultures of Mexico and Mesoamerica, where the Arboretum does important work to protect and conserve threatened trees and the ecosystems they support. Enjoy music, dance, food, storytelling, and other cultural performances that celebrate Hispanic heritage in a weekend-long festival held amid the tree-filled landscapes of The Morton Arboretum. The Arboretum’s Global Tree Conservation Program is helping scientists and local residents in Baja California Sur, Mexico, and Costa Rica conserve endangered oak species. Wherever trees need help or trees can help people—in Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods or far away—The Morton Arboretum is The Champion of Trees.
