Amarillo Little Theatre presents Come From Away at the ALT Allen Shankles Mainstage, Sept. 3–20.

Based on the true story of the days following September 11, Come From Away follows the people of Gander, Newfoundland, who welcomed thousands of stranded travelers when 38 planes were diverted to their small town. What began as an ordinary day became an international story of hospitality, music, resilience and unexpected connection.

With book, music and lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, Come From Away is an ensemble musical about strangers becoming neighbors and ordinary people showing up for one another in an extraordinary moment.

Performances are Sept. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m., and Sept. 13 and 20 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets and information are available through Amarillo Little Theatre at purchase.amarillolittletheatre.org or by calling the box office at 806-355-9991.

The Garden City Community Mexican Fiesta will take place for the 100th year on Sept. 11-12, and a temporary exhibit in the Finney County Historical Museum’s Front Door Gallery is marking that milestone. The exhibit, “Centennial Fiesta,” is based on the theme of the 2026 event, “Then, Now and Always.” The display will remain in place until mid-September, spanning the dates of the 100th anniversary fiesta itself, which is acknowledged as Garden City’s longest-running annual community event. The exhibit features three dozen early-day and recent photographs, colorful folkloric dresses and additional items, as well as information tracing the community’s fiesta back to its origins in 1926. The museum is located at 403 S. Fourth Street, adjacent to Garden City’s Lee Richardson Zoo, and admission is free. Fall exhibit hours are 1 to 5 p.m. seven days weekly.
