This event invites approximately 300 senior citizens to a party with all the trimmings. Lunch is served to those in attendance and then the dancing begins.

This festival began in 1995 and participation has increased each year. We accept nominations from the councils, total the number of attendees and the party is off the ground! Seniors are asked to bring their favorite covered dish and are bused to our venue. Navidad en el Barrio provides
