Come To Southwest Key’s 2011 Holiday Posada

Southwest Key wants you at our annual Holiday Posada event this December 15, 2011. What’s a posada, you ask? It’s a traditional Latin American Christmas party commemorating Mary & Joseph’s search for lodging in Bethlehem. The word posada translates literally to “the inn”. As the story goes, of course, there was no room at the inn, but Mary & Joseph made due and the result turned out pretty good anyway. Says the official invitation:

Southwest Key and East Austin College Prep’s Latino Arts Preservation Program students will narrate, sing and dance the audience through a traditional Mexican Posada and multi-media performance of “Shlama” from Proyecto Teatro. Kids can meet Santa Claus and enjoy games, arts and crafts, piñatas, face painting and more! Café del Sol will have extended holiday hours for the Posada.

So come on down, bring the kids and kick off the holiday season right. (The handmade tortillas at Cafe del Sol alone are worth the trip!)
