We are celebrating the deep-rooted connections between African diaspora rhythms and Puerto Rican musical traditions. Taking place the evening before the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade, this special performance serves as an unofficial pre-parade gathering, bringing together community, heritage, and movement through live music. Led by Landry M, the evening will feature a dynamic blend of Congolese influences, Afro-diasporic sounds, and beloved Puerto Rican classics, highlighting the shared histories and rhythmic foundations that link these cultures. Early arrival is encouraged. Space is limited. Link to ticket: https://shorturl.at/Fql9C

Mutual Aid Speed Dating is a spin on speed dating, but instead of getting to know romantic interests participants go on speed “dates” with mutual aid organizations from New York City. At the end of the event we hope people find a match to volunteer with and connect deeper with others in their community. The event will have 3 rounds of “dating” with breaks in between each of them for people to re-up their drinks and mingle.

Come thru - borrow a cup of sugar & stay for the show!
