Celebrate the vibrant "Rhythm of the People" of Puerto Rico in a major festival featuring concerts, films, exhibits, lectures and workshops. Highlighting the cultural and artistic contributions of Puerto Ricans as they make their own rhythm in Hartford's cultural and artistic landscapes, Ritmo de Pueblo will link the Trinity College campus and the Hartford community in a lively and educational celebration.
