Senderos dancers and musicians have been keeping the spirit of Guelaguetza year-round. The commitment of sharing and cooperation that Guelaguetza inspires is something that Senderos and so many in our community have been dedicated to throughout this pandemic. 

For the second year due to COVID restrictions we are not able to be together in person in downtown Santa Cruz, California. Guelaguetza is usually our biggest fundraising event which enables us to provide FREE cultural arts, education support and scholarships, and family support services, especially important during the last year. If you are inspired by the spirit of Guelaguetza, you can donate here. Thank you!

Enjoy Guelaguetza 2018 and 2019:
