We’re used to having our summer fun over a three-day weekend, using Monday as a workday opportunity to limp through recovery. But what about the youngsters? It’s the middle of the hot season and they’re getting bored from being parked in front of the TV set. Nickelodeon can only do so much, y’know. What you and the little ones need is a one-two punch of local culture. That’s where the Magic City Mondays performing arts series comes in. Today’s enriching event is Ritmo! Azúcar for kids.

Bobby Ramirez’s musical tour of Latin America made its debut in 1990. It fuses the many cultures of the Caribbean and Latin America into a spicy-sweet celebration of dance and music that heats up at night for adults, and stays sweet as candy for the little ones during daylight hours. This morning from 10:30 to 11:30, break it down to the sound of boogaloo, mambo, salsa, Latin rock, and jazz at the Joseph Caleb Auditorium,. Admission is three dollars for kids but free for adult chaperones. Even sweeter.
Mon., July 23, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
