Join us for a fun game of Lotería for kids and families with drag queen and educator Bella Aldama! Lotería is a traditional game enjoyed by many people in Mexico that is similar to bingo - instead of listening for the numbers you have on your card, you listen for the cantor (the caller) to call out the images on your tabla (game card).
