Major events:
The second week of February of every year in Los Angeles, we celebrate a cultural evening dance in honor of the Virgin of Santa Eulalia, Patron Saint of the town of Santa Eulalia.
Our program includes:

• The exhibition of our typical costumes from Santa Eulalia, such as: Women with braided hair dressed in white “Guipil” and red “Corte.” Man dressed in “Capishay”, white pants, and a hat of Petate.
  
• A quick performance by the “ Icham Alkal,” Mayan Priest.
  The crowning of the new Mayan-princess “Jolom Konob” who represents Santa Eulalia in Los Angeles.
  
• Performance by the Los Angeles Children Folklore dance, featuring the costumes of Santa Eulalia.
  
• The rest of the evening is for everybody to dance…and enjoy Guatemalan Food.
  

Purpose: To provide an opportunity to our fellow Q’anjobales to come together and to keep our costumes and cultures alive in the multicultural and diverse city of Los Angeles, and to pass on our culture to our children in the United Sates.

Anybody is welcome to come to this Cultural Evening Event. Even though our program is mainly done in Spanish, our master of ceremony translates the program to Q’anjobal and English.

We ask for a donation of $10 or $15 at the main entrance. Any money collected is sent to our projects in Santa Eulalia. In this case, to the Community Hospital since the hospital is run by humanitarian help and donations.


Thank you for visiting us and for your interest in Santa Eulalia.
