Las Posadas at Winterlights

Newfields and Arte Mexicano en Indiana team up for the Las Posadas takeover of Winterlights presented by Bank of America.

This single-night celebration honors Las Posadas, a nine-day celebration commonly observed in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Las Posadas recognizes Mary’s journey to find shelter during Jesus’ birth. Today, Las Posadas has many elements, both religious and secular. This special night at Winterlights will include special musical and choir performances. The colorful art installation by Mexican art collective Happy Rebels, titled Big Piñata is inspired by the celebratory season, and will be illuminated for the entire run of Winterlights, but will shine brightest on this festive evening.
