UNCA's 18th Annual Concerts on the Quad Concludes July 17
with Folkmoot's Macuilxochitl

UNCA’s 18th annual Concerts on the Quad finale will feature Macuilxochitl, a Folkmoot USA touring troupe from Mexico City, at 7 p.m. Monday, July 17 on UNCA’s quadrangle. The concert is free and open to the public.

Named for the Aztec god of dance, music, poetry and art, Macuilxochitl was founded by school teachers in 1980 to preserve Mexico’s cultural heritage through music and dance. The colorful ensemble will present an evening of traditional customs, dances and songs from ancient Aztec rituals to modern-day celebrations.

The public is invited to bring picnics, blankets and lawn chairs. With between 500 and 2,000 people attending each concert, lawn-chair seating will be separate from blanket seating in order to preserve sight lines; please look for signage when arriving on the quad. The rain location is the Justice Center.
