12th Annual San Diego Salsa Bachata Festival Arrives August 30th

Tuesday, July 24, 2018

It’s hard to believe that 12 years have passed since San Diego’s first Salsa festival.  In these last 12 years the festival has transformed from a small regional event to one that attracts attendees from all over the world.

The 12th Annual San Diego & Bachata Festival continues the tradition established by Albert Torres, Angel and Tulane Rivera and countless other volunteers who have helped make the event what it is today.  If you have never attended a salsa dance festival before you are in for a great weekend of dance shows, competitions, dance workshops and of course live music and dancing.  This video from the 6th San Diego Salsa and Bachata Festival gives you a glimpse of what you can expect to see:

The festival runs from August 30th to September 2nd and the organizers are in the process of updating the schedule of events now.  You can follow along on RitmoBello.com with any updates as they come out and you can check it out for yourself at the official San Diego Salsa & Bachata Festival website.

See you all at the upcoming 12th Annual San Diego Salsa & Bachata Festival!

Saturday, June 9, 2012

San Diego’s Dia de San Juan Salsa and Bachata Festival is coming up soon and with it a great opportunity to experience Puerto Rican culture here locally.  The Dia de San Juan has its roots in the Catholic feast day of St. John, commemorating the birth of St. John the Baptist 6 months before Jesus’ birth (which is why it falls on June 24th.)
