Believe it or not, 13 years have passed since San Diego first saw the Sabor on the Bay Latin boat cruise hit the dance scene. This year’s event on May 28th will feature a mix of live music, rooftop deck dancing and a special themed Reggaeton floor. The theme for the event is to dress in black and white which as we’ve seen over the years can make for some great fashion statements on the dance floor.
The yacht holds a whopping 1,200 people on the 3 hour cruise and offers a great opportunity to see San Diego from a different perspective on the bay. Conjunto Oyo and DJ Ukeim will be hosting the salsa floor, while DJ Rags and DJ Hush will be featuring Reggaeton and Bachata music respectively.

One of San Diego’s largest salsa dance events is coming in January 2022. The BIG Salsa Festival San Diego is a great opportunity to dive into the salsa dance world feet first. The event presents a varied mix of dance classes, dance performances, live concerts and salsa dance parties over the course of 4 days.
For anyone that has ever been to a festival like this you know that the best way to really engage in all of the activities is to attend the entire event by staying on property and taking advantage of the full schedule of offerings. These range from special dance workshops in the morning, a mid day dance party/mixer, watching performances and most importantly dancing at night with other attendees.
The event runs from Friday January 14th to Sunday January 17th, 2022 at the Marriott Mission Valley (there is a special Thursday night January 13th pre party as well). Special passes are available to fit your schedule so if you can’t attend everything you can still participate in seeing shows or other specific activities. You can find out more information about the event and secure your passes on the San Diego BIG Salsa Festival website.
What better way to begin 2022 than salsa dancing in San Diego…
See you all at the San Diego BIG Salsa Festival 2022!
