DAY OF THE DEAD FIESTA
The 5th annual DAY OF THE DEAD FIESTA hosted by Los Chavos!
Day of the Dead Fiesta
Saturday November 5th 3pm - 11:30pm
Ainslie Arts Centre, Elouera Street, Braddon
Tickets available now (EventBrite)
A community celebration of Afro-Latin music and culture with live bands + interstate guests, DJs, performances, food & craft stalls, face painting, workshops and live art!
Come and experience the vibes and atmosphere of a Latin American fiesta at this family friendly event; get your face painted and learn a little about how vast and deep Latin culture is. Paint a skull, learn a dance or two and reflect on what’s important as we mark the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead by enjoying the best in life!
Things kick off in the courtyard from 3pm with music and acoustic and dance performances and then heat up as night falls and we open the main hall from 6pm to our hand picked line up of live bands that span the gamut from Latin jazz & reggae, West African pop, Brazilian Forro Roots and New Orleans Funk.
The 2016 edition of the fiesta will feature Los Chavos - Brass Knuckle Brass Band - Mandacaru Forro (MELB) - Zambezi Sounds Canberra and Los Que Son + Dance & Circus performances & more!
Our amazing new venue is the Ainslie Arts Centre where we will be able to spread out and make use of the amazing heritage listed building that was refurbished very recently. Expect great sounding bands and lots of space for stalls and events & dancing!
The main event will finish at 11:30pm but for those who still want to party we have a the Day of the Dead AFTER PARTY which will be very close to the CBD where we can dance, sing, jam and be merry until the early morning!
Tickets are available online through Eventbrite (Kids & Family tickets available)
