Our year-round series of cultural events and activities create opportunities for residents and those throughout Greater Boston to experience Afro-Latin arts and culture. The series includes live music, youth performances, a Halloween Festival in partnership with several other organizations and businesses in the Latin Quarter, and a Three Kings Day Celebration. You can also check out our event calendar for the latest events!

In May of 2018, after years of advocacy by HSTF youth, staff, residents, business owners, and other community members, our neighborhood became an official Cultural District, Boston’s Latin Quarter. The designation aims to preserve and uplift the decades of rich history and contributions of Latinx immigrants who have made our neighborhood what it is today. Check out our Boston’s Latin Quarter page for more info!

Our Artes Culturales (formerly Music Clubhouse) provides children and youth ages 8-14 with access to low-cost music or dance lessons. Participants can sign up for weekly lessons in voice, piano, guitar/bass, drums, or various Afro-Latin dance styles including Merengue, Bachata, and Salsa. Lessons take place on Saturdays and are offered in Fall and Spring sessions. There is a $25 non-refundable enrollment fee per child for each session (fall or spring). 

Our Learn Through Dance Program injects the vibrancy of Afro-Latin dance into schools during the school day, with a particular focus on schools in Boston’s Latin Quarter.
