PIFA's Latino Happy Hour


Combine live music, hors d'oeuvres, a free drink and an 80 foot Eiffel Tower and what do you get? You get the Latino Professional Network's (LPN) PIFA happy hour of course. The Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts is about to kick-off with a bang and with over 120 events, it's a little difficult to choose what you plan on attending. Luckily on Thursday, April 14 the LPN is hosting a happy hour in conjunction with PIFA.

Learn about the street fair, cube, Eiffel Tower, strange and first-time collaborations and more. Don't worry, you don't have to be Latino to come to this event. Just have an appreciation for art, culture and Philadelphia. One interesting event is a collaboration between Taller Puertorriqueno, Artistas y Musicos Latino Americanos, Intercultural Journeys and the Philadelphia Orchestra. To learn more about the collaboration and how it started, watch their journey.

To RSVP to the event visit lpnetwork.net. See you next Thursday!

It's interesting to think that although the concept is bringing Paris' arts festival to Philadelphia, PIFA is putting extra effort into making sure the Latino community becomes a part of this movement!
We're a culture that is very much into arts of all sorts, we are known for not being shy of expressing our thoughts & ideas via dance, art or theatre, which is why it's great to see we are starting to be recognized for our creativity rather than our legal status...
