RBSP – David Cajigas Photography and Orquesta La Fuerza Gigante
Dear Riverbank Friends,
Join us tomorrow, Thursday, September 8 at 7 p.m.for a photography exhibit, a study of Puerto Rico by David Cajigas. We’ll be serving light refreshments, and will have a live performance by Orquesta La Fuerza Gigante in the theatre for your dancing pleasure!
Thanks to everyone who shared some wonderful memories with us this summer. Our Labor Day concert was off the hook! Oh, and welcome to those who discovered our cultural concerts for the first time. Our secret weapon is the family-like warmth and enthusiasm of our audiences. You make every artist that plays here want to come back.
We can’t bring summer back, but we sure send it out in style!
May the winter treat us better this year than last. Stay safe, healthy and warm.
All our best,
Riverbank State Park
