South Bronx Culture Festival 2023
Jun 1 - Jun 4
Join us June 2-4 for a weekend of free performances in celebration of women creators. Since 2011, Casita Maria’s South Bronx Culture Festival has celebrated the vibrant culture and communities of the South Bronx through an annual performance series anchored by a new theme each year. This year’s theme, Mi Cultura Viva en Mí, is rooted in healing and self-love. We have gathered a community of women from Caribbean and Latin American Diasporas who carry their culture with them and reframe traditional music and dance, sharing hope and creating inclusive community connections while amplifying the voices and perspectives of all who identify as women. This year’s Festival line-up, with musical roots from the diasporas of Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Haiti, México, Puerto Rico, and the confluence of cultures that is New York City, is curated by Casita Maria’s Artistic Director, Gail Heidel, in partnership with the Ori-Gen Collective, La Reina Del Barrio and Bronx Arts Ensemble. FREE outdoor performances will take place June 2-4, 2023 at Father Gigante Plaza in front of St. Athanasius Church, 878 Tiffany St, Bronx, NY 10459.
