El Museo del Barrio’s free Super Sabado program for December celebrates Christmas on December 17 with a full slate of holiday fun, beginning at 11:00 as members of the musical groups Balún and Tepeu will lead a holiday sing-along in El Teatro. From 12 noon to 3:00, kids can take part in an art workshop inspired by the Three Kings puppets and costumes in El Café and El Taller or make maracas in the Black Box Theater in preparation for the annual Three Kings Day Parade. At 3:00 in El Café, this year’s madrinas and padrinos in the parade will be on hands to talk about the festivities. And at 4:00 in the Black Box, the Peace Poets will get teens to speak their mind in the monthly spoken-word workshop “Oh Snap!” In addition, there will be tours of the museum’s two current exhibits, “Voces y Visiones: Signs, Systems & the City” and “El Museo’s Bienal: The (S) Files 2011.” And as always, be sure to come hungry, because there’s always something interesting cooking in El Café.
