# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Levitt Lawn Lit Club - September
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Before the music begins, join us for the final gathering of the 2026 Levitt Lawn Lit Club on Saturday, September 12 featuring The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love by Oscar Hijuelos.

We'll close the season with a celebration of music, memory, love, and Latin culture.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love follows two Cuban brothers as they pursue their musical dreams in America while navigating family, identity, longing, and belonging. Rich with rhythm, nostalgia, and heart, the novel explores how music carries our stories across generations and helps us stay connected to the people and places that shape us.

As the first Hispanic writer to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Oscar Hijuelos created a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers through its exploration of culture, community, and the enduring power of music.

Together, we'll reflect on the novel's themes of family, memory, migration, and the ways music helps us celebrate who we are while connecting us to one another.

Following the discussion, stay for a free concert featuring Son del Caribe, whose vibrant Latin rhythms will fill the Levitt lawn with energy, joy, and celebration for a memorable close to the Levitt Lawn Lit Club season.

At Levitt Pavilion Dayton, we believe books and music both have the power to bring people together. Levitt Lawn Lit Club creates space for conversation, reflection, and community in the heart of downtown Dayton.
