Toronto 
Get ready to party, as Canada’s biggest Latin street party is back to heat up Toronto streets this weekend.
TD Salsa In Toronto Festival
On July 11th and 12th, you can enjoy an authentic Latin fiesta at St. Clair Avenue West from Winona Dr. to Christie St.
What to expect at 2026 festival:
- Unlike at other festivals, you can show off your moves here. You don’t have to worry if you don’t know Latin dancing, as the festival features free dance lessons throughout the event. These interactive areas feature music and movement led by talented local dance groups. You can catch Steps Dance Studio bringing their flair to Rushton Road while over at Arlington Avenue, Soul2Sole Dance Company hosts vibrant sessions.
- The festival features two packed stages, El Gaucho and TD Stage, offering nonstop live music, dance lessons, DJ sets, and cultural performances by talented artists and dance companies.
- At the El Gaucho Stage near St Clair and Humewood, the day unfolds with Latin flavour: DJs, cumbia, salsa, Peruvian folklore, karaoke, dance lessons, karate, and live sets from Cumbia Power, Marta Elena, Papaya Sound, and Salsotika, creating a street celebration built for movement, colour, surprise, pure festival energy.
- At the TD Stage near St Clair and Greensides, salsa takes the lead, then keeps opening new doors. DJ Nilson, Adys Rodriguez, Sabor 19, Andy Rubal, and Yani Borrel anchor the music, while samba, Mexican dance, bachata, a political dance-off, and Latin showcases turn the street into a playful, alive celebration.
- The Fiesta Parade, running from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on both days, Sunday, infuses the streets with energy, music, and dazzling costumes, a real carnival-style experience.
- Plus, you can indulge in authentic Latin American flavours and taste unique takes on Latin American food. Take a lively tour through tacos, pupusas, arepas, churros, elotes, grilled meats, fresh juices, lemonade, popsicles, and more. From Picante MX and Birria Catrina to Pancho’s Bakery, Deliarepas, and Salvadorian Grill, every stop adds flavour, colour, and street-fair curiosity to explore.
Come early, grab your spot, and get ready to dance all weekend long!
