The event will happen on May 11, 2024, starting at 5 p.m. at the Rock House on George Street. The party will include children’s entertainment such as family games, door prizes, face painting, traditional Latin American cuisine from Soul Azteka Mexican Restaurant and Taqueria (vegetarian option available), and live music by the NL Latin Band.

The NL Latin Band plays Latin American genres such as salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, and more. Their performances are known for their unique blend of traditional Latin rhythms and for putting the audience to dance. Their music director and artistic director, Persio Domínguez, expresses that the ‘Para: Mamá’ event is the band’s way of showing gratitude to the community for the love and support they have received throughout the years. “We know that many families couldn’t come to our events because they were happening at night and were open only for people over 19 years old. ‘Para: Mamá’ is one of many events where we’ll be bringing music and joy to all ages,” says Dominguez.

‘Para: Mamá’ (to: mom) A family event to celebrate Mother’s Day is open to children of all ages, children 5 and under get in free.

Accessibility: For this event, Triangular Communications will be providing ASL interpretation for hard of hearing patrons.

The venue has recently been upgraded with a ramp leading to the main doors. The floor seating is all one level with a gentle downward slope leading to the front of the space, and there is one row with extra leg room that the venue has designated as “accessible seating” because it has more room for placement of mobility aids. There is a ramp to the washroom area as well, but not all doors are button-operated. If you have any other questions or concerns about accessibility, or would like to request specific accommodations, please contact natasha@firstlightnl.ca and they’ll do what they can to accommodate. Feel free to reach out to me for more information.
