About the New Years Salsa Mambo Festival

Whether you’ll be taking your first step, adding more to your dancing repertoire or refining your technique, the Winter Salsa Mambo Festival is a great place to do all that and more! It’s an excellent opportunity to meet fellow dance enthusiats, learn new things, purchase dance gear, see great performers and instructors and most of all - have FUN!

This event is produced by world reknown salsa professionals Edie the "Salsa Freak" and Bernard & Sonyo Martinez. The New Years Salsa Mambo Festival different from our Summer Salsa Mambo Festival is that our Summer festival is more family friendly than the Winter Salsa Mambo Festival which is geared more toward adults with our hallmark New Year’s Eve White Galla Dinner and festivities, midnight ballon drop and free champagne & noisemakers.
