events, runs from 10:30am-7:00pm.
The main stages for Lummis Day's performances will again be located at
Heritage Square Museum (3800 Homer Street), where the best of
home-grown Northeast L.A. music, dance, food and community resources
will be presented amid the historic buildings preserved on the unique
museum's grounds. The diverse styles and traditions of this year's
music include salsa, tex-mex, rock, hip-hop, Indian raga and country.
Dance groups will present material representing Irish step dance,
modern dance, Brazilian capoeira, rumba and more.
Some of the historic buildings at Heritage Square Museum will be
available to festival-goers via docent-led tours.
As always, the two-part Festival's opening morning event will take
place at Lummis Home (200 East Avenue 43), where the day begins at
10:30 AM with readings by critically acclaimed poets. The Lummis Home
site will also feature music, art exhibits and refreshments. The
Festival's art exhibit will continue at Lummis Home until 5pm while
performances—music, dance—and community activities shift to nearby
Heritage Square Museum, beginning at 12:30pm. Visitors to Lummis Home
can enjoy the interior of the century-old home, influenced by mission
architecture and the dwellings of the Pueblo Indians, and can stroll
through the beautiful native plant gardens that surround the building.
