2026 THEME & ARTISTS LINEUP
Theme: A RHYTHM WITHIN
RHYTHM, the regular, recurring pattern of sounds, movements, or life events is fundamental to our lives just as much as to the arts! In our own life, the interplay of strong and weak beats or stressed/unstressed elements create patterns and a steady sense of flow, sustaining our own originality!
How’s your rhythm?

Saturday, AUGUST 15 - 5:00PM
THIS EVENT IS PRESENTED IN COLLABORATION WITH:
A Batey Comunitario is an open space for communal expression that comes from the practice of ‘bomba’ dance in Puerto Rico where individuals can participate in music and dance, creating a sense of community and belonging, and offering the opportunity for self-expression.
It is meant to honor and highlight cultural heritage, history, resistance, and community solidarity.
The performing group is led by HSTF teaching artists, experienced musicians and dancers, and youth.
Their expressive dance movements, live drumming, and the rich celebration of Puerto Rico's cultural heritage is unmistakably captivating and a call to the audience to join in!
