50th Anniversary

Los Lupeños de San José was founded in 1969.  In 2019 we celebrated our golden anniversary!

Los Lupeños’ 50th Anniversary Season began in September, 2018 and included 4 major concert events which took place at the School of Arts and Culture @ Mexican Heritage Plaza in San José, California.

Our beautiful 50th Anniversary graphic was designed by Lupeños alumnus Francisco Delgadillo of Gestudia.

It captures the movement of dance and cyclic nature and growth of dance companies.  The colors Francisco selected hearken back to the logo of our parent non-profit, the Cashion Cultural Legacy.

We used four of these colors in our 50th Anniversary Season concert cards and posters.
