Peña Adobe welcomes “Folklorico Juvenil - Danzantes Unidos de Vacaville” as our special guest. This talented group consists of middle school and high school Vacaville youth who enjoy sharing their culture with the community. Most of the group met in Elementary school where they were first introduced to the beautiful art of traditional Folklorico Dance. With the support of parents, volunteers and strong supporters such as St. Mary’s Church they came together again two years ago and now perform all over the Solano County and California.
