Plena Libre (Dance)

Get ready to move and groove with Plena Libre, the masters of Afro-Caribbean dance music! For nearly three decades, this trailblazing band has been thrilling audiences around the globe with their infectious blend of Plena, Bomba, jazz, and more. With four Grammy nominations under their belt and a reputation for electrifying performances, Plena Libre is the ultimate party-starter. From mesmerizing hand drumming to raucous horns and soaring vocal harmonies, they’ll have you dancing all night long to their scintillating beats!

Since 2018, the free, family-friendly, 10-week music series has transformed River Island Art Park into a cultural hub of entertainment on Friday evenings. With goals of amplifying community pride, enriching lives through the power of free, live music, and creating vibrant public places, the work we do fosters tourism, enhances the resident experience, and is a point of pride for the City.

Over the last few years, the Levitt AMP Woonsocket Music Series has become the place to be on Friday nights. Residents have personally told me that they consider it to be the best arts event they attend all summer!”
