Loisaida Senior Day
Every first Monday of the month!
Lunes, 3 de Julio de 12:00 pm hasta las 5:00 pm
When you talk about the immigrant story and history, you have to start from Loisaida. It is called the gateway to America for a reason. On the  Sunday before Memorial Day we celebrated 30 years of the Latino beat that has been present in this community for way more than that, we are glad that we can contribute to keeping our identity alive. Loisaida is Culture, is Art, it's hard work, and all of that was shown through the amazing and versatile talent showcased and through the heart of the Loisaida community.

Sincerely,
Libertad Guerra
