NEW DANCE SERIES!

Every fourth Friday, you're invited to join us in Congress Square Park for our Kizomba Sunset Sessions. Kizomba is a partner dance from Angola, and OLE Beats in Motion will give a quick lesson at the start, with dancing kicking off shortly after (with a DJ on site, of course!).

Plus, Ugly Duckling Food Truck will be there with delicious treats for purchase!

As always, this event is free and open to all!
