First Friday Fiesta: Free Engaging Performances | San Jose

The notable First Friday Fiesta Series at MACLA brings several of the Bay Area’s most prominent Latin American music and dance companies to MACLA’s Castellano Playhouse in the heart of Downtown San José for an evening of free, educational, and engaging performances.

The series is presented by MACLA during the monthly SoFA District Art Walk. This event takes place on the 1st Friday of each month.

Alafia Dance Ensemble (ADE) founded in 1980 by Valerie Watson in order to showcase the beauty of African Haitian dance. The majority of ADE dancers are students or former students of City College of San Francisco. Some recent performances include: San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, CubaCaribe Festival, Konbit 2nd Annual Haitian Dance, Music and Arts Festival, World’s Culture Concert of San Francisco State University, Haitian Flay Day Celebration at Ashkenaz, La Pena Cultural Center, Great American Music Hall, Laguna Honda Hospital, Presidio’s Golden Gate Club, and City College Dance Concert.
