Upper Manhattan is the heart of Dominican New York, and this afternoon spotlights the traditions that rarely make it onto the dance floor, well beyond bachata and merengue. It's organized as a welcoming, wholesome neighborhood gathering where families, elders and kids share the park. If you want to experience a living piece of Washington Heights and Inwood culture, spend your Sunday afternoon here.
What to expect
Live music and dance performances, cultural and educational activities and neighbors gathering in and around the playground at the park's north end. The event is presented in English and Spanish.
