Thalia FREE COMUNITY FESTIVAL is a series of concerts of Spanish and Latin American music and dance reflecting the diverse cultural roots of the Queens Hispanic community.
The performances are FREE of charge.

The XXIX FREE FESTIVAL expands on Thalia’s mission by taking its shows out into the neighborhood where the performances are literally open to all. It brings together people of all ages and backgrounds for a joyful, positive experience of Hispanic culture; provides a cultural link and a warm welcome for local Hispanic immigrants; and offers a fun, informal introduction to our theatre. Thalia chooses to highlight its most accessible shows in the universal languages of music and dance. For the last 27 years THALIA’s FREE FESTIVAL was done OUTDOORS in our LOCAL PARK, one block from the theatre. When in 2023 the Park closed for renovations we decided to continue doing it FREE for the Community inside the THALIA SPANISH THEATRE on Sundays in June.

Thalia understands the powerful importance of FREE FESTIVALS like these to break down walls between communities and bring them together in a celebration of the beauty of their cultural differences.
