D33 Ballet Folklórico Performance
Saturday, May 16 at 5:30pm
One of West Chicago’s most loved traditions returns Saturday evening with the incredible D33 Ballet Folklórico performance!
This beautiful event celebrates the rich tradition and pride of Mexican folkloric dance while honoring Mother’s Day weekend with a performance that brings generations together. From the colorful dresses to the powerful music and dancing, it’s truly one of the most special nights in West Chicago.
Bring the whole family for an unforgettable evening celebrating culture, community, and the amazing talents of our D33 students.
Due to the Union Pacific Big Boy Train visiting West Chicago during the final week of school and expected heavy traffic throughout the community, D33 has adjusted the end-of-year calendar to help ensure safe travel for students and staff.
