¡Fiesta Latina! A Celebration of Latin American Cultures at Yale Peabody and Junta for Progressive Action
September 28
Our annual ¡Fiesta Latina!, a celebration of Latin American cultures, returns to in-person programming this year with music and other community events.
The celebration will take place September 28 and 29. Junta for Progressive Action will host programming at 169 Grand Avenue, New Haven from 1 to 4 pm on September 28. There will be a day of performances held at the Peabody Museum, located at 170 Whitney Avenue, on September 29 from noon to 5 pm. Programs will be free, community-led, and accessible to participants of all ages.
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. Entravision 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.
