Art, Culture & Community
Celebrate art, culture, and community on Saturday, September 16th from 1 to 5PM at the Festival del Rancho! Come together to celebrate Latinx/e and Hispanic culture through art, dance, music, food, and more!
The afternoon will be filled with live music by SONTRES, a Denver-based Salsa, Cumbia, and Merengue band, as well as dancing with interactive performances by Mezcla’s Ensemble, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, the Roaring Fork Divas, and DJ Joeli Villa throughout the afternoon. Kids of all ages can make tissue paper flowers, hojalata ornaments, and engage in our community booths hosted by the Aspen Music Festival and School and the Basalt Regional Library.
Enjoy free lunch by Axkawa: Señor Taco Show followed by sweet treats for dessert by Colorado Fruit Design. And if that wasn’t enough, the beautiful and poignant artwork of Visiting Artists Maria De Los Angeles and Ronald Rael will be available for viewing in the Patton-Malott Gallery.
