The Spanish Community of Wallingford’s music and dance programs add to the mosaic of American culture by enabling all Latinos to share the culture of their native countries. SCOW’s amazing Mariachi band and dancers will be joining us at Fiesta Latina, a celebration of Hispanic culture presented with Junta for Progressive Action on Sunday, September 27. The dancers will perform at noon, and the whole event runs from noon to 5 pm.
