California natives QUITAPENAS will bring a tropical Latin heat to the cool holiday season at the station’s final Cocoa Concert, in collaboration with Metro Arts Presents.
QUITAPENAS delivers a rhythmic contagion with a unique combination of Afro-Latin music. Inspired by música tropical y bailable, each song echoes a remix of history with a nod to the music of Angola, Peru, Colombia and Brazil. The band, whose name translates “to remove worries,” will have guests dancing their holiday cares away all evening.
The festive, family-friendly holiday celebration will transform the station into a winter wonderland featuring live music, Cocoa Bars with Elftenders, Santa selfies and our very own Candy Cane Lane where a custom neon photo-op will make your season bright alongside a soaring Candy Cane Queen and holiday-themed arts, crafts, interactive games and entertainment.
Don’t miss the marshmallow-eating contest where winners will celebrate their sweet victory with prizes and sticky fingers.
Go Metro to all events by taking the Red, Purple, Gold or Silver Line directly to Union Station L.A.
