On Sunday, December 14, at 5 pm, in Humphrey Hall, the children and youth of Westbury UMC will present an adaptation of Dave Brubeck’s musical masterpiece, La Fiesta de la Posada.

Las posadas is a Latin American custom depicting Joseph and Mary’s search for lodging on the eve of Christ’s birth. The celebration centers around festive music, rich food and a dramatic retelling of the Christmas story.

Westbury UMC’s version of La Fiesta de la Posada will include a participatory Christmas pageant with costumes, staging, jazz music, piñatas and a fajita dinner. The event is free and open to the public; attendees can bring desserts to share.
