Elvis Crespo Headlining Arlandria-Chirilagua Festival

Tenants and Workers United and La Nueva 87.7 are presenting the annual Arlandria-Chirilagua Festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 21 at Four Mile Run Park.

The event includes a multitude of musical performances, children’s activities, a community service and health fair and displays showcasing arts and crafts from South and Central America.

Puerto Rican merengue star Elvis Crespo is scheduled to headline the event.

The 41-year-old singer made headlines earlier this month following an altercation with a restaurant manager in San Juan’s tourist district. Crespo, who penned 1998’s Billboard-charting “Suavemente,” admitted the San Juan incident followed an alcoholism relapse. The singer announced he would seek treatment.

Festival organizers confirmed to Patch that Crespo will perform Sunday in Arlandria.

Other scheduled performers include La Maquina de El Salvador, J-King and Maximan, Charlie Cruz, Yernandy, Jeyro and Rigu.  

Admission costs $20 at the door, but advance tickets are available for $10 on Saturday, July 20 at the Tenants and Workers headquarters located at 3801 Mount Vernon Ave. Children under 10 will be admitted for free.

The festival will be held on the Commonwealth Avenue side of Four Mile Run Park.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
