Tola’s Room and La Sonora

present

The first annual PR Weekend Baltimore, a citywide celebration of Puerto Rican culture, music, and community, taking place June 14–15, 2025 in honor of Tola’s Room’s 5 year anniversary.

With music as the central theme, PR Weekend Baltimore plays out like a cherished vinyl—Side A: Baile Luna - A Moonlit Tribute Through Music & Memory and Side B: Baile Sol - A Downtown Day Party and bombazo — each side offering perspective into Puerto Rican culture and legacy in Baltimore city.

THE BOOK OF STARS is the folktale of the Light Queen, written and performed by musician and folk artist Georgia Beatty. The show combines original music with the old projector technology known as a “magic lantern” to tell the story of the cosmic queen who is reborn every 3,000 years to learn the songs of Light, and use them to heal Earth from oppressive powers.

DOORS OPEN AT 7P.M.

CONCERT STARTS AT 7:30 P.M. Tickets: $20 online, $25 at the door
