There's not a whole lot of official information out on this yet, but there's a new holiday offering coming to DCA this year, besides World of Color Winter Dreams. And I figured it would need its own thread as photos and video come in this weekend after its official debut on Friday.
Viva Navidad! will take over the Paradise Gardens area in Paradise Pier beginning Friday, and they've already swapped out the Greek skewers menu at Paradise Garden Grill for a new menu of Mexican foods.
According to Miceage in the last Al Lutz Update, here's the scoop on Viva Navidad and this big street show they'll be performing a few times per day...
"Nearby at DCA, in the Paradise Gardens food court area, another new holiday offering will formally debut on Friday. Dubbed Viva Navidad!, the area will be home to a big new street show, new menus and decorations, plus various character appearances, cooking demonstrations, bands, and Hispanic cultural activities. The street show in particular has enjoyed a huge budget from TDA, and is hosted by the Three Caballeros on a rolling bandstand and Minnie and Mickey zooming in on pedicabs. The 10 minute show will be performed daily throughout the afternoon and evening, and features dozens of dancers and street performers, a full Mariachi band as well as a troupe of Brazilian drummers, and large rolling puppets representing festive ladies from Mexico and Brazil, plus Santa and Mrs. Claus for good measure.
The Viva Navidad street party show will take over the parade route from the Silly Symphony Swings to Goofy’s Sky School, as it builds itself to a rousing and rowdy rendition of Feliz Navidad backed by the dozens of dancers and live Mariachis that should prove impossible to not tap your toes to."
This show sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see how it turns out this weekend!

I've been very busy with work the past month and haven't been keeping up with the boards too well.
