Colombian Independence Day is coming up this week and what better way to celebrate than to attend a Colombian themed festival. Our friends over at Rumba Entertainment are hosting their 7th Annual Festival Colombiano this Sunday July 22 and you can take part in all the fun events. There will be Colombian food, music and crafts available to take advantage of during the day.
Just a quick heads up that this Saturday July 17th Rumba Entertainment is hosting the San Diego Colombian & Peruvian Independence Day Celebration at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel. The event is featuring a Vallenato group as well as a salsa and cumbia band. If you’ve never heard vallenato you are in for a real treat, check out the video below for a taste that music:
As we approach Colombia’s independence day I’ll be posting information about local celebrations here in San Diego. One of the larger ones will be hosted by Rumba Entertainment at the Mission Valley Hilton on Sunday July 27, 2008.
The event (which doesn’t fall on the actual independence day for Colombia ) will be a combined festival to celebrate not only Colombia’s independence but also Peru’s.
There will be a live band, Orquesta Ritmo Caliente, and DJ Farley will be spinning Colombian style salsa. Oh and for all the Colombians out there the event will have Aguardiente Cristal.
Hello! Hope you are all doing well. Believe it or not Colombia’s independence day is coming up in the not too distant future. Although the actual independence day is July 20th, there will be a special celebration on Sunday July 27th, 2008 at the Mission Valley Hilton here in San Diego from 11am to 6pm. Rumba Entertainment is hosting this event.
Some things to look forward to include folkloric dance performances, spectacular salsa and tango dance shows, food and souvenir vendors, and of course salsa dancing. Orquesta Ritmo Caliente is slated to perform and there should be free salsa lessons with paid admission. I’m hoping they will have some Aguardiente Antioqueno to make the celebration complete.
