A “quiet time” with the art is promised at the opening reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A Mujeres Crafts Market will feature goods by:

TumbolWeed Soaps
Ribbons & Rockabilly

La Chica Boutique
Mariscos German Gastrotruck will be there, too, selling their “seaworthy culinary desires” while Stone Brewing Company slings the cold brews.
From 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. is when “quiet time” ends and the music kicks in.
DJ Ana Brown, co- founder of The Roots Factory, will be on the decks and promises to spin an eclectic mix of Cumbia, Reggae, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Rock en Espanol.
There will also be a live performance by “drum and dance roots music” group Bomba Liberte.
“Now in its 6th year, the Dia de la Mujer cultural programming has flourished as we have had the honor of working with judges whose selection process has helped elevate the exhibition to another level," states the Casa Familiar website.
“Throughout 5 years of growth, the Dia de la Mujer programming has been able to retain the essence so vital to its conception and continued success, the need to establish a safe space for women to create art and representations of womanhood.”
