FREE Event

For the third year in a row, Caramoor celebrates the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, with a lively, family-friendly afternoon of music and dance. Calpulli Mexican Dance Company returns with its passionate performers, colorful costuming, and cultural stories to our grounds for guests of all ages to enjoy, along with arts, crafts, and snacks.

Musiquita Nutcracker Tap Dance Special
Sunday, December 3 / 3:00pm
Make this holiday season special for your young ones by introducing them to the beauty of The Nutcracker through the art of tap dance. Musiquita duo Blanca Cecilia González and Jesse Elder will be joined by tap dancer extraordinaire Demi Remick and wizard of the bass, Steve “El Bajo” Whipple, for a special concert featuring music from the classic ballet. You might even pick up a few clickety-clack steps yourself and dream of sugar-plum fairies all night long.
Sonia de Los Santos
Sunday, May 19 / 2:00pm
Just try to not smile while listening to Sonia de Los Santos sing about things like migrating birds, friendship, chocolate, and anecdotes about growing up in Mexico and her childhood dream of moving to New York. Singing in both Spanish and English, her music will get the entire family dancing in and out of their seats (oh! bring a blanket or chair!). If her rhythms from Latin America don’t make you crack a smile, her messages of global hope and connection will. This concert takes place outdoors on Friends Field. Please bring your own seating for this performance.
