Purim is a favorite Jewish holiday for anti-fascists, queer folks, young people, feminists, and people who love to party. The holiday calls for noise making, rule-breaking, binary-blurring and an end to business as usual. Come party with West Philly Orchestra and the Mariposas Galácticas, as they call in the holiday with the raucous and joyful sounds of Klezmer and Cumbia, two vital folk music traditions with deep legacies of resistance. There will be costumes, clowns, Yiddish dancing, pupusas, and even a kid’s hour to start the night, so bring the whole fam!
