Miracle Theatre Group invites the whole family to enjoy the Posada Milagro, to be celebrated Sunday, December 12th between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. at El Centro Milagro (525 S.E. Stark St., Portland).
This community celebration filled with Latin American traditions reflects upon the journey of Mary and Joseph in their search for refuge and is day of fun for the whole family! The afternoon's entertainment will also feature live music, dance presentations, arts and crafts workshops, bilingual storytelling for children under 5 years old, a piñata for all ages and, of course, traditional pan dulce (sweet bread) and tamales!
This year's celebration will once again feature two Spanish-language performances with a unique recognition of the feast of the Virgen de Guadalupe, beginning at 2 p.m. and again at 4 p.m. Admission to the event is free, but performances are limited to ticket-holders only. Free tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the theater beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday Dec. 12.
Guests are encouraged to bring donations of canned food for the Oregon Food Bank.
