Enjoy bites by Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar in the outdoor courtyard, featuring Tres Leches Cake and Chicken Empanadas with aji-amarillo sauce accompanied by “Sounds by Mac Wondo”, a Wilmington, Delaware-based DJ known for crafting immersive, genre-blending music rooted in R&B, soulful house, jazz, deep grooves, and beyond.
