Arlington Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration Featuring BOMBAntillana

Description

Join us for a town wide celebration of Indigenous Peoples! This fun and educational event will feature a 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 is located at 630 Mass. Ave., Arlington, MA 02476. Metered parking is available in Russell Common Municipal Lot across the street.
