Festival Betances: Un Verano en Betances, will be a day-long celebration of Latinx culture, soul and sound under the sun!

Hearkening back to the joyous gatherings and vibrant sounds synonymous with summer months in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and South America, this year’s lineup includes legendary salsa singer Charlie Aponte, award-winning salsa and timba group Pirulo y La Tribu, salsa vocalist Luis Matos Burgos, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Zayra Pola, and Rhode Island-based salsa singer and vocalist powerhouse EhShawnee.

In addition to musical performances, Festival Betances highlights the diversity of Latinx culture through a parade, various food trucks and vendors, and arts, crafts and children’s activities.

Started by Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) in 1973, Festival Betances is New England’s longest-running Latino cultural festival and will bring together a diverse audience of more than 3,000 people from across Boston, the Commonwealth and beyond.
