Don’t miss out on one of the best Salsa and Bachata dancing experiences of the year!
We acknowledge and honour that the Sunday Afternoon Salsa dances happen on the shared, unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Sunday Afternoon Salsa is an annual summer festival (since 2006) of FREE outdoor salsa dances held at Robson Square in downtown Vancouver during the summer months of July and August. Try the free beginner salsa dance lesson at 3pm, watch the dance performances at 5pm, or just check out the social dancing throughout the afternoon and see how much fun it is!
