Where Chicago pop-ups surface
↗Add to MAMBO, free. An event, a class or school, or just an Instagram / Facebook / website we should track for Chicago. Anyone can add one — it goes up after a quick check.
💡 Organizers, one favor: when you post a flyer on Instagram or Facebook, put the date, time, venue & price in the caption text too — not just baked into the image. We'll read your flyer either way… but words save everyone time. (C'mon, help a salsero out. 🙏)
Got it — gracias!
