Destinos al Aire, A Holiday Extravaganza!

The Chicago Latino Theater Alliance partnered with the Chicago Park District to launch this new, free series of holiday-themed performances that will pop up in city parks this November and December. The series kicks off on November 26 with "Posadas y Parranda" at Millennium Park, where Cuerdas Clásicas will perform traditional carols sung during posadas (reenactments of the biblical Mary and Joseph searching for shelter), while the Frankie Diaz Trio will perform Puerto Rican parranda music with Milly Santiago. On December 3, the series heads to the Humboldt Park Boathouse with live music, food trucks serving Latin American cuisine, and an art market. Finally, the series concludes at Pilsen's Harrison Park on December 10 with a pop-up market and performers like Mariachi Sirenas, Chicago's first all-women mariachi group.
