Tía Chucha’s Centro Cultural & Bookstore is proud to present the 13th Annual Celebrating Words Festival: Written, Performed, and Sung, the largest community-based literacy and arts festival in the San Fernando Valley. We are excited to continue this celebration in Pacoima and provide a brave space that encourages creativity and imagination, where artistic expression can thrive, and where we can come together to support intellectual growth and emotional healing in the vital and unique ways that arts and literacy can.
