A swing concert and a Christmas bazaar on Nov. 28 top the rest of November at Casa de la Cultura Tijuana

Tijuana’s culture department has filled out the rest of November at the Casa de la Cultura Tijuana in Colonia Altamira with workshops, a free talk, a Christmas bazaar and a two-show concert, according to a city announcement published on Nov. 10 by Tijuana Última Hora and San Diego Red. Culture secretary Yadira Esther Gutiérrez Avila said the idea is to offer a range of options that bring residents closer to the arts.

The dates

• Circuito de Talleres Artísticos, Saturday, Nov. 14, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.: workshops in art, music and food, at 100 pesos per person per workshop (event page).
• Talk, Thursday, Nov. 19, 7 p.m.: “Contactos con el más allá: ¿Hay vida después de la muerte?”, on science, spirit and consciousness, by Luis Mariano Fernández Pimentel, whom the city describes as a journalist, researcher, clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. Free.
• Gran Bazar Navideño, Saturday, Nov. 28, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.: teachers and students sell embroidery, crochet, prints, photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, ceramics and screen-printed pieces in the first-floor hallway. Free entry (event page).
• “Press Start to Swing,” Saturday, Nov. 28, 5 and 8 p.m.: The 8-Bit Symphony and Tiko’s Big Band play live symphonic music and big-band jazz in the Casa’s theater. The announcement didn’t include a ticket price (event page).

The program also includes “Conciencia y Prevención,” free sessions for students on preventing violence against women and girls, on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 10 and 11 a.m. in room 307.

The Casa is at Av. París y Lisboa 5, a short taxi or ride-hail from Avenida Revolución; for the concert price, call the number on our profile. Tiko’s Big Band was also on the bill for the Casa’s 49th-anniversary concert in October. Two more dates at the same building are already on our calendar: tenor Ezequiel Ojeda with mariachi on Nov. 21 and the free sculpture opening on Nov. 26. The Nov. 28 bazaar falls on Thanksgiving weekend; our planner has the rest.
