Come celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day!

Dear Arlington friends and neighbors,

Join us for a town-wide celebration of Indigenous Peoples! This free event for all ages will feature a fun and educational performance by the Boston-based collective BOMBAntillana. Experience one of the oldest living musical traditions of Borikén (Puerto Rico). Bomba evolved as a powerful form of expression and resistance by Indigenous Taino and West African peoples during Spanish rule and beyond.

This event is free and family friendly!

First Parish Church, 630 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington
