Embrace Massó “¡Con Salsa!” brought the streets of Downtown Crossing to life this past weekend, a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month felt across the entire city.
The festival brought together thousands of neighbors and friends in a celebration larger than any one of us, and reminded the city of Boston what belonging looks like when it takes to the streets.
Embrace works to build gatherings where unity is not just spoken about, but felt.
Still reflecting on the joy from Embrace Massó "¡Con Salsa!" 🧡 In her own words, Vanessa shares what it meant to be at this year's festival, and why moments of cultural representation like this matter.
The music, the dancing, the community, that's the magic of this festival. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this celebration one to remember. ✨
