Teen selected to sing at Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe celebration in downtown Los Angeles
Friday is Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe, a Catholic celebration with origins in Mexico that’s now observed across the country, but festivities will begin on Thursday night.
At 6 p.m., a festival will take place at The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels and there’s a 16-year-old girl who is helping keep traditions alive.
Salma Parra, from La Puente, is one of the six soloists who were chosen to perform during LA’s festival of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
