Bilingual children’s music duo Andrés and Christina will perform a community concert on Thursday, August 29, at 6 p.m. at the Plaza Del Mar Band Shell, 131 Castillo St., Santa Barbara.

The duo is known for their rousing and interactive performances that invite the audience to sing, dance and play along.

Her music is aimed at young Spanish and English learners.

In addition to the concert, there will be a Community Resource Fair to celebrate the reopening of Plaza Del Mar.

“Our bilingual school community thrives on shared experiences that unite us, and the 123 Andrés concert is a perfect example of that,” said Daisy Ochoa, principal of McKinley School. “It is an opportunity for our community to celebrate our cultural diversity through music, and we are excited to be able to work together to create such a vibrant and exciting event.”

Participants are asked to bring blankets, chairs and baskets of food to the picnic-style event. Food will also be available for purchase.

The event is hosted by McKinley Elementary and Santa Barbara Unified, Adelante Charter School, First 5 Santa Barbara County, Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation, and the Santa Barbara County chapter of the California Association of Bilingual Educators.

Parking is available in the Carriage Museum parking lot. Alternatively, metered parking is available in nearby municipal lots. Families can also park at McKinley Elementary School and walk to the concert.
