El Grito de Dolores

 

El Grito de Dolores marks the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence. For over 80 years, the City of Los Angeles has hosted its own El Grito celebration, bringing out thousands of Angelenos to witness a reenactment of Father Miguel Hidalgo’s historic cry and bell ringing. We’re excited to celebrate El Grito once again with incredible music.

 

El Grito Los Angeles 2022 will feature musical entertainment on the historic Spring Street Steps of City Hall headlined by Graciela Beltran with performances by local groups including: Los de la Costa Band; “Zavier” Colombian and Mexican Mix; Mariachi Los Aventureros; Luna La Grande; ranchero singer Lupita Fernández; Ballet Folklorico Resplandor Mexicano: and Alison Sánchez, Queen of Fiestas Patrias Mexicanas who will present a short message about fiestas patrias.

Join us for a great time!

Gee’s Bend: Shared Legacy

See an installation of prints made by members of Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers’ Collective. The pieces were created by pressing original quilted fabric designs face down on a wax-coated printing plate that captured the fabrics’ texture, seams, and stitching of the original. Through this innovative process, a quilt is translated to a printed surface—a new medium to explore and share the quiltmakers’ creativity. “Gee’s Bend: Shared Legacy” is presented in two six-month installments, each featuring a selection of 12 prints.
