The Mansfield Downtown Partnership is pleased to announce the headliner for its 23rd Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival is
LULADA CLUB
NEW YORK’S ALL-WOMEN SALSA ORCHESTRA
Lulada Club is a groundbreaking all-women salsa ensemble redefining the golden era of Latin dance music with a fresh, soulful edge. Founded by Andrea Chavarro and Katherine Ocampo, two Colombian American musicians, the group channels the power of visibility and representation into every performance — celebrating Latin heritage while reimagining it for a new generation. Since its inception, Lulada Club has electrified stages at iconic institutions including Lincoln Center and the Smithsonian Museum, where they honored Celia Cruz during the unveiling of her U.S. quarter. Their recognition as the first all-women salsa band featured in Rolling Stone marked a historic milestone for gender equity in Latin music.
“...reimagining salsa music... [b]y emphasizing the music’s roots of liberation and proudly representing their identities onstage”
Lulada Club will perform from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM on the stage of the Jeffrey P. Ossen Family Foundation Pavilion on Betsy Paterson Square.
Visitors are invited to bring a blanket or lawn chair. Refreshments will be available for purchase from the Festival food booths and at Downtown Storrs restaurants.
Please note: Alcohol and smoking/vaping are prohibited on the Square.
The Celebrate Mansfield Festival is free and open to everyone.
