The Piazza at Schmidt’s Commons presents a brand-new open-air Cinco de Mayo Celebration on Sunday, May 7, 2017, from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. Get ready to fiesta with live bands, entertainment, dancing, dance lessons, sombrero races, pinatas and more.
Entertainment kicks off at 1:00pm with Magdaliz and Her Latin Ensemble Crisol. This group is dedicated to the interpretation of a variety of folk and traditional music genres from Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Venezuela, and other parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. The lively performance will range from romantic Puerto Rican Boleros to energetic Mexican Mariachi music to feisty Cuban Sones to sensuous Colombian Cumbias to contagious Dominican Merengues - and everything in between.
We will also have dance performances from Ballet Folklorico Yaretzi - BFY. Ballet Folklorico Yaretzi is a school of dance and Mexican dances. Recognized for the excellent preparation of its students and teachers in PA.
Next, the Piazza at Schmidt’s Commons brings back their monthly salsa night with free lessons at 2:30pm, followed at 3:00pm by an afternoon of dancing to “Fania Forever” from the Siempre Salsa Philly All Stars and special guest Willy Torres Music.
