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.

SIDE B: BAILE SOL ☀️
Sun 6/15 - 4-8pm
A downtown day party and bombazo at Stem & Vine

La Sonora is teaming up with Tola’s Room to bring Borikén to Stem & Vine with Side B: Baile Sol, A Downtown Day Party and bombazo with a full-body, full-flavor experience where bomba meets vinyl and the block stays hot. This isn’t just an event — it’s a gathering for the papis who still know the words to every Cortijo joint, and the new school holding it down with fresh crates and even fresher fades.
