The Canadian Salsa Festivals Project (CSFP) is set to expand its reach with the inaugural Salsa at Niagara Falls, scheduled for September 12-13, from noon to 10 p.m. daily. Presented in partnership with Niagara Falls Tourism, Niagara Parks Commission, Fallsview Casino Resort, and TLN Media Group, the free festival will bring Latin music, dance, food, and culture to the iconic falls, according to a press release.
The event will feature a special appearance and free concert by salsa star Frankie Negrón on Sunday, September 13, at 8 p.m. Over 300 performers will showcase their talents across two live entertainment stages, with Juno-nominated artist Andy Rubal headlining the Saturday lineup. Other notable acts include award-winning Latin singers Yani Borrell and Aiona Santana. Attendees can also enjoy dedicated dance zones with non-stop lessons throughout the weekend at the Oakes Garden Theatre, world-class dance performances, and interactive lessons with schools from the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and local Buffalo dance schools MOVIEmiento Latin Dance Studio and Fanny Olaya.
The festival will feature a vibrant marketplace celebrating Latin culture, complete with authentic cuisine and specialty vendors. A spectacular nightly 10 p.m. fireworks show, choreographed to salsa music, will light up the sky over the majestic falls, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Niagara Falls, the festival will take over the Niagara River Parkway. This landmark event marks the beginning of an exciting new annual tradition that blends the energy and passion of Latin culture with one of Canada's most celebrated tourism destinations. As the newest stop in the CSFP tour, Salsa at Niagara Falls builds on more than two decades of the project's history of bringing communities together across Ontario, Canada, and around the world through music, dance, food, and cultural celebration.
Whether you are a seasoned dancer or discovering salsa for the first time, Salsa at Niagara Falls promises world-class entertainment, Latin culture, and the natural wonder of the falls for an unforgettable weekend.
