La Posada Family Advent Festival

Wednesday, November 30 | 6:00-8:00 pm
La Posada is a Mexican Christmas tradition. Participants re-create Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter in Bethlehem by processing to various locations looking for a room at an inn. At our festival, Mary and Joseph will lead groups of families in this processional. The procession ends with a celebration in the Great Hall, including piñatas, food, music, games, crafts and more! We will be singing in both Spanish and English and all families are invited to join us for this festive occasion!
