The Original Pinata festival celebrates Latino culture
BYU students hosted The Original Pinata event in the Wilkinson Student Center on Thursday, Oct. 26 to celebrate Latino culture. The event gave the BYU community an opportunity to build and color pinatas and learn about the iconic symbol’s origins.
Both students and faculty gathered and socialized as they worked on their traditional pinatas and learned more about Latino culture and its presence on campus. Some pinatas resembled a cone shape while others resembled rainbows.
The event also provided snacks for its participants.
