POV: You’ve been working so hard on El Barrio that you accidentally took a pre-party siesta. 😴🇵🇷😂

But WAIT… ¿¡YA EMPEZÓ!? 👀

Not yet, but we are officially ONE DAY AWAY!

Tomorrow, bring your corillo to MARQUETTE PARK and come spend the day with us. We’ll have the food, the music, the dancing, the laughs, and most importantly, la buena compañía. ❤️

Whether Puerto Rico is home, you grew up with our traditions from afar, or you're experiencing our culture for the first time, come find a little bit of everything you need to make you feel como en casa. 🇵🇷

🍴 Come hungry.
🎶 Come ready to enjoy the music.
💃 Come ready to move.
❤️ Come ready to be familia.

And apparently…some of us will be well-rested. 😂

¡Nos vemos MAÑANA en El Barrio at Marquette Park!

Somos tu familia extendida. 🇵🇷❤️

El Barrio is all about community, and this celebration wouldn’t be possible without partners who believed in what we were building. ❤️🇵🇷

A very special GRACIAS to our friends at Allies of Marquette Park (DutchtownSTL.org) for serving as an in-kind sponsor of El Barrio and providing the support and guidance we needed to secure Marquette Park for this year’s celebration.

From the beginning, they welcomed our vision, shared their knowledge, and helped us take an idea for a new kind of celebration and bring it one step closer to life.

That’s what community looks like: organizations supporting one another, sharing resources, and working together to create spaces where people can gather, celebrate, and connect.

To Allies of Marquette Park: gracias for being part of our corillo and helping make El Barrio possible. ❤️

Now there’s only one thing left to do…

¡Nos vemos mañana en El Barrio! 🎶🇵🇷

Somos tu familia extendida.

Come hungry. Come curious. And maybe leave a little extra room in the shopping budget. 👀🇵🇷

El Barrio wouldn't be El Barrio without the incredible businesses, artisans, and community organizations showing up to share what they do with our familia.

This Saturday, make sure you take some time to explore ALL of El Barrio:

🍴 Come hungry and show some love to our food vendors serving up Puerto Rican favorites and flavors from across our Latino community.

🛍️ Shop local artisans and makers bringing their crafts, creations, and one-of-a-kind finds.

🤝 Get connected with community partners and organizations sharing resources, opportunities, and information for you and your familia.

These vendors and partners are helping us create the kind of barrio we've been talking about all along: one where we support each other, discover something new, and build community together.

So when you get here, don't just find the stage and stay there. Walk the block. Meet somebody. Try something new. ❤️

📅 Saturday, August 8
⏰ 1–7 PM
📍 Marquette Plaza

And here's your challenge: How many of these vendors can you visit before the day is over? 👀

Somos tu familia extendida. Nos vemos en El Barrio. 🇵🇷❤️
