Community events

Bomba de Aquí has appeared at numerous events in the Springfield-Holyoke area Puerto Rican community, including weddings, cumpleaños, quinzeañeras, Three Kings Day and other church celebrations, block parties, benefits for organizations (e.g., Boys and Girls Club) and individuals (e.g., raising medical expenses), baseball games, and even a funeral.

While Bomba de Aquí is not a political group, we support selected events of importance to our community, for example the Black Lives Matter rally in Hartford CT in summer 2020, the 2021 Juneteenth Celebration in Springfield MA, and a celebration of Puerto Rican activist Oscar Lopez in Holyoke MA.
