May’s First Fridays event on May 5 from 3 to 5 pm at Monument Square Park will be quite a celebration! May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and our First Friday lands on Cinco de Mayo! We will be celebrating with complimentary taquitos and lemonade from New Brunswick’s own Mozzarella Cucina Restaurant. Indulge your inner dancer and take the floor during a Bollywood Zumba class lead by Ms. Varsha Naik from Navrang Dance Academy. Stay for the Lion Dance performance by students from the Chinese American Cultural Center. DJ Lady Star will keep the vibes high for this very festive First Fridays! In the case of rain, the fiesta moves into the lobby of the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, located at 11 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick.

We are excited to share this innovative bilingual (Spanish-English) program called Wash and Learn. This creative literacy program organized by Roosevelt Elementary School in New Brunswick provides books for children of all ages, as well as adults. All donations are housed at a local laundromat to encourage students to read while parents are doing their laundry. 

To donate books to New Brunswick’s Wash and Learn program, please contact Anne-Marie Riveaux McMahon at 
anne-marie_mcmahon@nbpsnj.net and Maritza Acevedo at maritza_acevedo@nbpsnj.net.
