Event Details

 Ollimpaxqui means Joyful Movement in Náhuatl, the language of the Aztecs. This educational and highly entertaining panorama encompasses centuries of traditions that have evolved from European, Oriental, Indian, and American influences. From the pre-Columbian rituals of the Tarasco’s nation from Michoacán, to the colorful music of the Bamba from Veracruz with its picturesque ribbon-tying ceremony, to the fast and eloquent dancing of Jalisco, to the songs and traditions of the other distinctive regions of this exciting country, you will embark on a never-to-be-forgotten journey.  You will experience a joyful extravaganza that will thrill and delight you and provide cultural and educational insight into our increasingly important neighbor, Mexico. 

This program is available online only. Registration is required. Details on how to participate will be emailed. Emails may go to your spam folder.
