The Azores Band of Escalon was founded in 1980 and is in its 27th year of existence. The band was formed by local Portuguese immigrants with the desire to maintain the musical traditions of their homeland. Our Filarmonica performs at local festas, bullfights, and at many other events held by the Portuguese community.
