Join us for these evening events filled with fun for your whole family.
In small towns around Mexico, community members come together informally on the night of the full moon to share stories, poetry and music. Join us as this tradition is celebrated several times throughout the year.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Performances are from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Open Mic begins around 7:40 p.m.
Performances
Grupo Folklórico Los Laureles: Founded by husband and wife team, Maestra Ashley Lopez-Gonzales and Maestro Cesar Gonzales in 2007, the group has grown from a small group of family members to an academy that offers classes for ages 4 to adult. The dancers perform for community celebrations and corporate events all over the Bay Area as well as at the annual California Danzantes Unidos Festival. The group makes its home at Moviemento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana (MACLA) in downtown San Jose.

Nelson Dance Company: Directed by Bettie Nelson, the company is a San Jose institution; “Miss Bettie” has trained dancers from ages 4 to adult in everything from jazz, to tap, to hip-hop, for many years. Dancers recently took top honors at the Thunderstruck Dance Competition in Las Vegas! Find them on Facebook.
The Rambling Minors: We are happy to welcome this group of young singers and musicians to our stage for the first time. The Rambling Minors range in age from 10 to 13 and play their own arrangements of classic bluegrass tunes. Though they’ve only been together for two years, they’ve played festivals in northern California as well as a few radio gigs. Each member was chosen to represent California’s Kids on Bluegrass at this year’s annual International Bluegrass Music Association’s World of Bluegrass in Raleigh North Carolina!
