BTWHSPVA's Inaugural Sounds and Voices Fall Festival, presented by the Class of 2027

 

 

Get ready for an unforgettable evening! What was once the Hispanic Heritage Festival has been reimagined into a vibrant, one-night celebration: Sounds and Voices—The Celebration of a People. This dynamic event will showcase creative works from every conservatory, highlighting the rich cultural tapestry and artistic brilliance of our BTW community.

 

The Class of 2027 will bring the energy to The Commons with a festive lineup including a silent auction, decorated pumpkin contest, delicious desserts, an elote stand, aguas frescas, and plenty more surprises!

 

Mark your calendar and join us for this exciting new tradition. You won’t want to miss the music, the flavors, and the spirit of celebration that make Booker T. shine!

 

To help us plan for food and refreshments, please be sure to RSVP by Wednesday, October 15th.

The PTSA is actively seeking partnerships with food trucks and mobile food vendors to participate in upcoming events at Booker T. Washington HSPVA. We’re specifically looking for vendors who do not require a deposit or minimum purchase commitment, making it easier for our school community to host inclusive and exciting experiences.

 

If you have a connection to a food truck—or know of a vendor with great food and flair—we’d love to hear from you! Whether it's tacos, BBQ, vegan bites, sweet treats, or something totally unique, we’re open to a variety of cuisines and concepts that reflect the creativity of our campus.

 

Your recommendation could help us bring delicious options to our events while supporting local businesses and creating memorable moments for our scholar artists and families.
