Flag Day 2022 occurred on September 15, 2022 at the Rotunda. The event was hosted by OMA.

Students were able to get delicious fresh fruit ice popsicles from Palmetto Pops. They had flavors such as Blackberry Lemonade and Chunky Mango.

The first 100 students were able to receive a free meal from Vida Fresh Food Truck by Latin Chicks. There was Esquites (Mexican Corn), Street Tacos, and more.

Alongside the ice popsicles and the food, students were able to enjoy rock climbing, inflatable axe throwing, and human billiards.

Jose Ramiez (blue shirt) said, “Hispanic Heritage Month to me, lets me take pride in being a Latino. It gives me representation and lets me show my culture to other people to see what it is about. It is a great way to connect with other Latinos from all around the world”.

Jose Ramiez (blue shirt) also celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with his “family at carne asadas (similar to a cookout), spending quality time together, talking about our culture, our history”.

Emmanuel Gonzalez celebrate by “celebrating other Hispanic countries as well as (his) own and embracing (his) own culture”.

Towards the end of the event, students grabbed flags from different Hispanic countries and participated in a Flag Parade.
