Arlington Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration

Join us for a town wide celebration of this land’s First Peoples! This free event at First Parish is suitable for all ages and will feature a performance by BOMBAntillana. Experience one of the oldest living musical traditions of Borikén (Puerto Rico). Bomba evolved as a powerful form of expression and resistance by Indigenous Taino and West African peoples during Spanish rule and beyond.

Sponsored by the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum, First Parish Arlington Indigenous Justice Working Group, Arlington Center for the Arts, Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture, Arlington Historical Society, the Arlington Human Rights Commission, Old Schwamb Mill, and the Robbins Library.
