Join us for an exciting and hands-on workshop as part of the Latin American Heritage Month Festival by Latincouver! Discover the rich cultural tradition of making Barriletes, or traditional Guatemalan kites, which hold a special place in celebrations like All Saints' Day (Todos Santos) and the National Kite Festival in Sumpango, Guatemala.
In this in-person workshop, you’ll learn the intricate art of crafting your very own Barrilete. Our experienced instructors will guide you step-by-step, from selecting materials to decorating and assembling your kite, all while sharing the historical and cultural significance of this beautiful tradition. Whether you're an experienced crafter or a complete beginner, this workshop is a fantastic opportunity to engage with Guatemalan culture and create something meaningful to take home.
Latincouver is proud to celebrate the sixth year of Latin American Heritage Month in BC with a vibrant mix of artist performances, art exhibitions, workshops, forums, and events both in person and online.
