Día de las Familias

Día de las Familias is a new open-to-the-public day-long music and arts festival with music, food vendors, nature walks, activities for children and more—todo en Español! This event will be held Sunday May 7th 10am-3pm on the Ashokan Center campus in Olivebridge, NY. The day will feature live music by renowned traditional Veracruz artists Radio Jarocho, youth music group Radio Kingston Niños, and The Noche Buena Band, a local ensemble fronted by festival co-organizer Victor Lissabet. 

This festival will be offered entirely free of charge to the general public thanks to generous donor support. Food vendors on site will be selling rice, beans, chicken, churros, and flan. Nature hikes throughout the day will be co-lead in both English and Spanish. 

Día de las Familias will provide an immersive experience for people of all ages and backgrounds by adapting the 300-year-old tradition of son jarocho and the Fandango to the current times and context.
