Drop by Ting Pavilion on Saturday September 21 between 1-10pm for Cville Sabroso 2024, the local Latino community’s 12th annual heritage festival celebrating the richness and vibrant diversity of Latin American culture. There’ll be nine hours of live music and lively dance performances, food, artisan crafts, and interactive activities for kids that will immerse you in the warmth and hospitality of Latino communities. It’s one of the biggest family-friendly events in Charlottesville, and your presence will help support Sin Barreras (“Without Barriers”), the Charlottesville/Waynesboro nonprofit that advocates for immigrants (mostly Latino) and organizes the festival. We will have a booth there too! Tickets (kids under 12 are free) are available here. For Sabroso 2024 details and pictures visit the Cville Sabroso Facebook event page, or for background information visit the Sin Barreras Cville Sabroso website page.
Events
Get Out for “GOTV Thursdays”
Chihamba African-American Arts Celebration (7/27)
Cville Dems will have a table at the Chihamba African-American Cultural Arts Festival on Saturday July 27 at Washington Park. The Festival (the 33rd Annual, always the last Saturday of July) runs from 10:30am-7:30pm and features music, dancing, and vendors; stop by, say hi, and have some fun!
Kickoff for Cville Dems’ “GOTV Thursdays” is this Thursday July 11!
We’ll be on the lawn outside of Brazos Tacos from 5-7pm on Thursday July 11, for canvassing, phone banks, text banks, and postcard writing. Hopefully, we will be meeting every Thursday thereafter through October 31.
Since the picnic benches can fill up fairly quickly, please bring a blanket or chair to sit on the grass.
Postcard writing is an expensive undertaking! If you can contribute to the cost of printing and stamps, please do so by going to our Act Blue Page and clicking on postcards and stamps: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/charlottesville-democratic-committee-1
Coordinated Campaign’s Cville Canvass Launch Event is Sunday July 14! (but don’t forget Saturday July 13)
