TODAY IS THE DAY:

VIVA LA VIDA DE FRIDA
Saturday 11 July
1:30 pm – 10:30 pm
North Adelaide Community Centre
176 Tynte Street
FREE ENTRY

Experience a colourful celebration of Fridas life while raising funds for Venezuelan earthquake relief

Adelaide will come alive with the colours, music, art and spirit of Mexico as VIVA LA VIDA DE FRIDA transforms the North Adelaide Community Centre into a vibrant fiesta celebrating the extraordinary life of iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

The FRIDA event is also a fundraiser supporting victims of the recent devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, with proceeds from hot food sales, the raffle and silent auction being donated to Caritas

"Viva La Vida" ("Long Live Life") is the title of Frida Kahlo's final painting, completed shortly before her death in 1954. It perfectly reflects the celebration's themes of resilience, creativity, courage, and embracing life despite adversity.

Held during Frida Kahlo Month—marking her birth on 6 July 1907 and her passing on 13 July 1954—the family-friendly event invites visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in authentic Mexican and Latin American culture through music, dance, art, food and interactive experiences.

Visitors can enjoy Latin street foods, sweets, artisan market stalls, Frida-inspired décor, colourful floral installations, and a cantina with Cuban barman: Ollie Martinez

Throughout the day, audiences will experience traditional Mexican folkloric dance displays by the Mexican Revolution dance group, Latin dance showcases by La Bomba, live music by LATIN SOUL BAND + social dancing led by DJ Señorita

Creative workshops for children and adults include Frida-inspired bling up a hand fan and woofen earring decorating sessions and mini piñata workshops for children.

EVERYONE WELCOME

DANCE/ DINE/ DRINK FOR A GREAT CAUSE
