aStreet Festival Saturday

There is a lively arts community in Southern Baja, populated with talented, involved, sophisticated performing artists of every discipline you can imagine.

Hundreds of these people have all gone into cahoots to bring us a delightful five days of pop up street performances and tomorrow, Saturday, is your last chance to see one of these.

There are musicians of course; single acts, small groups and big groups. Interests range from classical chamber music, to popular music, and some more aggressive music. There are wandering magicians, stilt walkers, and jugglers.

There will be flash mobs. A flash mob is a group of people who quietly, nonchalantly, and singly stroll into a public place like a mall, then all of a sudden one of them bursts into song! Then others in this stealth group start singing! Pretty soon there are dozens of singers interspersed within the shoppers, all belting out the tune in a chorus.

Many of these performers will engage the public, so if you are approached by someone who could be a stalker or who looks like they’re up to no good, maybe not. Go along with it, (especially if they are 10 feet tall, walking on stilts, that’s a positve sign). You might be being drawn into the fun.

This is called Pa’h la Calle, which kind of means Take It To The Streets. They are also calling it an Urban Arts Festival, which is the best description.

This has been going on for the last few days, and the last performance is along the Cabo Marina, November 29 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. It’s along the malecon, (marina front), from the Dolphin Center to the Wyndham.
