Every third Saturday of the month, El Museo del Barrio open their doors to learn about Latino culture—for free! And guess what? Tomorrow, the 17th, is a third Saturday. The event is sponsored by Target and from 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m., the museum will have concerts, exhibitions, gallery tours, art making workshops, walking tours, film screenings and spoken word recitals, all part of Super Sabado!
There will also be a block party, with a central theme of Health and Fitness. Meaning, bring your Rollerblades, bikes and scooters around 104th Street and 5th Avenue, where the museum’s located. There will also be dance contests, photos booths, a book reading by the Food Network’s Daisy Martinez and free gifts for the entire family.
The weather for Saturday is supposed to be 92 and sunny, so you have no valid excuse to stay indoors. Instead, head out to the El Museo del Barrio (1230 5th Ave.) and have some fun. More information can be found here and below is a schedule of events:
