Kids of all ages can get creative and use mixed media supplies to make Hojalata ornaments and tissue paper flowers. Everyone will have the opportunity to play Loteria, a bingo-style game that originated in Mexico and there will also be corn hole and other lawn games for the whole family. Be sure to stop by and visit with our community partners Basalt Regional Library and Aspen Music Festival and School who will be offering interactive activities at their booths throughout the event.

1-4:30pm: Lunch

The family-owned Axkawa: Señor Taco Show will be providing delicious guacamole, chips, and tacos for lunch along with sweet treats for dessert by Colorado Fruit Design.

1-5pm: Music & Dancing

Get ready for an amazing afternoon of music and dancing! We will kick things off at 1:15PM with dance lessons led by the Valley’s own Mezcla Socials Dance. Specializing in salsa, bachata, and more, the Mezcla family is dedicated to providing space and opportunities for the community to come together through dance. Cultural dances of Mexico will then be performed at 2PM by The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Folklórico followed by Los Mocochetes at 2:45PM, a Xicanx/Funk band from Denver, CO with deep roots from the Mora Valley in northern Nuevo Mexico and to the south from Juarez, MX. Listen here! And if that wasn’t enough, DJ Joeli Villa will be getting everyone out on the dance floor to close out the afternoon. Don’t miss it!
