Fiesta Latina!

¡Fiesta Latina!, a celebration of Hispanic cultures featuring music, dance, and food, will take place September 28 from 1 to 4 pm at Junta for Progressive Action, located at 169 Grand Avenue in New Haven, and at the Peabody September 29 from noon to 5 pm.

The event is a collaboration between the Peabody Museum, Junta for Progressive Action, New Haven Pride Center, Arte Inc, the New Haven Free Public Library, and Music Haven. Univision is the media sponsor.

“Our goal is to celebrate Hispanic culture through community programming and through sharing objects from the Peabody’s collections about those cultures. The aim is to move this from a one- day event, to a series of events throughout Hispanic Heritage month at various community venues, which culminate in a weekend at Junta and at the Peabody Museum,” said Andrea Motto, YPM’s director of education.
