This is a Concert/ Dance, Fashion Show, Zoot Suit, and Vestido de Cholo dress competition. The Pachuco Ball is part of the 5280 Swap Meet Project and the ongoing Calle Cultura Cultural Education Series. The event is specifically being produced in support of the "American Homeboy" film screening and cultural forum presentation, discussion, and Q&A. Date, time, and location will be announced soon.
The Pachuco Ball is brought to Denver in community partnership with Original Suavecito Zoot Suits and Clothing, Santa Fe Nights, Beyond Elements, and Mi Gente Customs. These organizations are either established and have been community contributors for years, or they are up-and-coming, dynamic, and worthy of our support as they journey to success in what they do. We also welcome our emerging community partners and sponsors, who are now joining the effort.
We bring the Pachuco Ball to Colorado as both a unique cultural celebration as well as an educational vehicle that speaks to the history, resiliency, and determination of the Chicano spirit. We welcome our West Coast special guests and original Pachuco Ball producers, Judge Jorge Hernandez Aka "Mr. Blue" of Cultura Con Llantas, and Ray and Vanessa Estrella of El Pachuco Zoot Suits in Fullerton, California.
