We are excited to be collaborating with the Avila Center for Community Leadership whose mission is to support and connect community organizers and leaders working collectively for systemic change in the South and beyond. Surrounded by forest, the Avila Center has become an important space for the local Latino community. By partnering with the Avila Center, we hope to be able to reflect the origins of the fandango as a rural tradition where people sing, dance, and share food together until dawn.

​

This event is free and open to the public. We are working to make sure as many meals are provided as possible. Families and children are welcome. Come for the whole weekend or just some, we will be so excited to see you!

Statement of Community Care:

​

We stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and welcome any and all gender and identity expressions in the fandango. We acknowledge the adaptability of the fandango depending on the place, and know that our Durham, NC fandango will sound and look different than a fandango in Veracruz. We celebrate that the fandango is in constant evolution and respect all experience levels, identities, and backgrounds who participate.

​

Planning to come to Durham from out of town? Or are you part of our local comunidad and would like to stay at the Avila center for the weekend? Learn more about lodging options!
