Bring the whole family and celebrate Las Posadas with the OJAC!

Las Posadas are community celebrations in Mexico which take place on each of the nine nights leading up to Christmas, from December 16 to 24th. The word posada means "inn" or "shelter" in Spanish, and in this tradition, Mary and Joseph's voyage to Bethlehem and their search for a place to stay is re-enacted. The celebration begins with a procession in which the participants hold candles and sing Christmas carols, and ends with a party and piñata! 

Explore this colorful, cultural tradition with FREE crafts, games, food and music!

Student artwork from Region 14 will be on view in the Stasney Center for Education.

This Family Festival is FREE and open to the public. All ages welcome
