The City of Allentown Department of Parks and Recreation will host the first “Noches de Ritmo” evening on Saturday, May 17 at the Arts Park.

The event will include a live performance by a variety of popular local groups whose rhythms range from merengue to salsa to bolero. Performing groups include Ballet Folklorico Dominicano, Menor y Oreo, Ashley Lynn, Bolillo , Angelique and XCAPE Hip-Hop Dance.

The first 75 attendees will receive a pink or red carnation, thanks to a donation from Rich Mar Florist.
