LA POSADA 2024
Saturday, December 14 | 5- 9 PM | FREE
The term “posada” translates to “shelter” or “inn” in Spanish. This cherished tradition of the Posada beautifully reenacts the biblical tale of Mary and Joseph’s pilgrimage to Bethlehem, as they seek a haven for the night. It is also a time to celebrate, express heartfelt gratitude, and offer a fond farewell to Our Lady of Pompei Church, which has graciously embraced the community and Creative Alliance since 2014.
5- 6 PM | The community is invited to join a singing candle-lit procession through the streets of Highlandtown starting at Creative Alliance and stopping by local businesses until arriving at Our Lady of Pompei Church.
6- 9 PM | The night ends with a fiesta, traditional food, performances, raffles, and piñata breaking to celebrate that everyone is welcome here!
