Food for Parranda Navideña Celebration

Caterer Kevin Acosta prepares pork for Sandy Spring Museum’s 2023 parranda Navideña event. A parranda Navideña is a Puerto Rican Christmas-season tradition, similar to Christmas caroling, where groups of friends travel door to door with drums and musical instruments singing Christmas music. The Northern Virginia-area cultural association Cultura Planera hosted the party, which featured Puerto Rican plena music and dancing.
