Put on your dancing shoes and meet us at El Museo del Barrio for the return of Uptown Bounce—our electrifying, free summer block party! Now in its 12th year, this beloved event, co-presented by El Museo del Barrio and the Museum of the City of New York, celebrates the vibrant spirit of East Harlem at the top of Museum Mile.
Celebrate Nuyorican culture and enjoy a night of Salsa music, learn new dance moves, and soak in the rhythms of summer. Plus, play dominos, make some art, and join free tours of our exhibition, Candida Alvarez: Circle, Point, Hoop.
With high-energy DJ sets, dynamic performances, and hands-on activities, it’s an unforgettable celebration of culture, creativity, and community.
Special thanks to New York City Council Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala for sponsoring this event.
