The Queens Theatre, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, is the premiere performing arts center in Queens, NYC, America’s most diverse county.
It presents Latin dance, film, music, and theatre. The annual Latin Culture and Dance Fiesta is a great festival of us.
Queens is the home of many Latin communities, and many immigrant communities. To be Latin is to be a little bit of everyone, and the Queens Theatre is all of that.
Since the theatre is in the park, you can have a family picnic before the show.
