Roslindale Holiday Wander Happenings Tonight Includes A Caroling Mariachi Performance

Tonight's Roslindale Village Holiday Wander is packed with awesome events - like El Chavo's Fourth Annual Posada Navideña! 

A Mexican, and now a Roslindale tradition, is the nativity re-enactment of Joseph and Mary seeking lodging. Come dressed warm and ready to carol for "posada" or "shelter" around the square. There will be homemade tamales, champurrado, menudo and other Mexican goodies. The Mariachi Estrella de Boston band will also be helping carol along in Spanish. There will be a piñata for the kids at Romano's Pizzeria & Taqueria around 6:45 p.m., with it starting at El Chavo at 6 p.m. sharp.
