VT Insider Tip
Take the free dance lesson early in the day — it's surprisingly fun and will make the evening much more enjoyable. The west end of the festival near Corso Italia has fewer crowds.
About
Salsa on St. Clair closes down a stretch of St. Clair West for a weekend of Latin music, dance, and food. Multiple stages with salsa, merengue, bachata, and reggaeton. Free dance lessons for beginners make it accessible to everyone.
What to Expect
Two days of street closures along St. Clair West. Multiple music stages, dance floors, food vendors, and artisan market. Very energetic evening atmosphere.
Pro Tips
Wear shoes you can dance in (not flip-flops). The food vendors serve authentic Latin food that's genuinely excellent. Bring water — you'll be dancing more than you expected.
Getting There
St. Clair West subway or St. Clair streetcar. Walk the festival route between stations. Easy TTC access.
