National Pupusa Day | Abi Azteca & the Arlington Sister City Association

National Pupusa Day was celebrated by Arlington Sister City Association's San Miguel Sister City Committee at Abi Azteca Grill & Bar. There was a proclamation from Arlington County officials read, traditional El Salvadorian dancers, music, a quiz about El Salvador, raffle, and of course excellent pupusas. 

The El Salvadorian community in Arlington constitutes the largest Hispanic population along Columbia Pike.

From the Arlington Sister City Association's announcement of the fiesta: “Pupusas are more than just delicious food—they’re a symbol of Salvadoran culture, tradition, and community. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together, enjoy a taste of Salvadoran heritage, and celebrate the connections between Arlington and our sister city of San Miguel.”
