Winter Holiday Party 2025: Share Your Story

Celebrate the Season With Taller!

Join us for our annual Winter Holiday Party and Fundraiser, a joyful evening filled with community, creativity, and culture! This year’s theme, “Share Your Story,” invites everyone to reflect on our shared experiences and contribute a story to our community video time capsule.

Celebrate the season with live Latin holiday music, delicious food, and drinks, and take part in festive activities including wreath-making and special raffle baskets featuring prizes such as tickets to a Latin Jazz night at the Kimmel Center, a Julia de Burgos Bookstore Selects basket, a DIY coquito basket, and more. You can also join a book launch discussion of Batiendo La Olla and record your own story for the time capsule project.

Come enjoy an evening that captures the warmth and vibrancy of the holidays — Puerto Rican style!
