“5 de Mayo Mexican Party”

As usual we will have great  dance demonstrations and  our first ever
Mariachi  contest, (bring your Mexican karaoke CD and sing  along with us)
raffles, piñata and very good dinner by Mexico City restaurants.
Two great music bands are coming to bring the best of their repertory; the folkloric
band Musuhalpa & the Latin Jazz of Puro Queso.

The entrance is free and we’ll open at 5 pm, dinner/buffet will be ready at 5:30
(only $8 dollars  per  person). Don’t forget that after this event we continue
the dance with the authentic Cuban Salsa band Guaracha performing from 10 pm to 1
am,
at the Altar Bar in the strip district too
(just minutes away from the Contemporary Craft). 

Save the date and see you all there.
