June is Indigenous PRIDE in The Park! Celebrate Indigeneity with lesbian Puerto Rican singer songwriter extraordinaire, Lourdes Pérez. Her mesmerizing and beautiful voice is hauntingly prolific with her blend of lyrics and guitar style, that makes us want more. Taking the main stage, Mimi Gonzalez, is a life affirming force with her favorite triggers: bi-sexuality, identity politics and real liberation. Mimi’s mantra -“laughter is the best medicine,” is quick witted with a Pisces, lesbian and feminist flare. Closing the evening is local diverse band, Una Mas y La Cha Cha with their Chicano funk and eclectic spin on things. IndigenousWays Festival is more than just an event; it's a free festival for all who wish to have fun, learn about other cultures and languages, and be part of an inclusive, multicultural, and generational celebration. Come as you are and show your love for the arts in a safe space that's drug and alcohol-free. Prepare for an Unforgettable Experience: Bring a chair and an umbrella, just in case. Rain or shine, so long as there's no heavy lightning, the show will go on. And don't forget, we've got sign language interpreters on-site, making every beat, note, and word accessible to everyone.
