The day will include music, food, sports, family-friendly activities and more.

4:30PM: Performance by the Mazarte Dance Company inspired by traditional Mexican dances, the dance company brings folklore back to life under the leadership of NYC’s distinguished choreographer and folklorist, Martha Nora Zarate-Alvarez. Combining dance, research and indigenous art, her choreographies honor the cultural vastness of Mexico as they embody the fusion of Mexico’s old and new as part of Mazarte’s mission to preserve these dances for the community and generations to come.
