LA Opera is set to celebrate Latino artistry and culture at its annual Celebración de las Artes, a free community festival taking place on Sunday, Dec. 13, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on The Music Center’s Jerry Moss Plaza in downtown Los Angeles.

The event will be presented by LA Opera Connects in collaboration with Hispanics for LA Opera and will feature live music and dance, activities for children, and food and drinks available for purchase.

This year’s holiday mercado will be double the size of last year’s event, showcasing local artists and vendors including Throw and Trim Ceramics, Erick Martinez, LA Garden and Mi Vida Boutique, among others.

This year’s lineup will include Boleros with Attitude, a Los Angeles-based group that brings together hip-hop and boleros to celebrate the diversity of Latino music. Maqueos Music Academy will also perform as well as LA Opera’s Zarzuela Project.

In a statement, Christopher Koelsch, LA Opera’s President and CEO said, “Celebración de las Artes is one of the ways LA Opera celebrates the extraordinary cultural richness of Los Angeles. It’s an opportunity to bring people together through music, dance and shared traditions, and to recognize the Latino artists and communities whose contributions are so essential to the cultural life of our city. We’re delighted to welcome everyone to join us for this festive occasion.”
