Summer’s spiciest party! Everyone, of every age and every background, is invited to experience the flavours, sounds, and passions of Latin America — right here in Ottawa. Food that will excite your tastebuds. Music you can’t help but move to. And dance lessons that will make a hip-shaker out of even the shyest beginner. You don’t need to be a connoisseur of Latin American culture — you just need to arrive with curiosity, your friends, and your appetite!
Our event caters to the whole family with plenty of options to entertain every age demographic including live shows, food trucks, dance lessons and more. Children 12 years of age or younger enter free!
Do you like music? Have you ever wiggled? Tapped your foot? A “yes” in any case means you’ll do just fine at the Latin Sparks Festival.
