The “Open Mic Slam” is a free event open to artists and performers of all kind. Senator Willie Delgado will be in the audience as performers like Bomba con Buya, Louder than a Bomb, and other artists take the stage. At this and all other enrollment events, in-person assistors will be available to answer questions and provide uninsured residents with the information they need to enroll in health coverage. Uninsured residents who do not complete enrollment by the February 15 open enrollment deadline will have to pay a penalty.
