Spicy weekend heading your way at SalsaFest!
More than 20,000 people are expected to attend Palm Beach County’s spiciest event – SalsaFest, on November 19th & 20th at Greenacres Community Park, located on Jog Road just north of 10th Avenue.
In its fifth year, SalsaFest will heat things up with the best musical line-up since its inception. Saturday night will feature international sensation Jerry Rivera (8:30pm), along with Grammy-nominated
Frankie Negron (6:30pm) and South Florida superstar Lefty Perez (4:30pm). A full schedule of music is planned for the two days. “We invite everyone to visit our official SalsaFest website (www.SalsaFest.net) for a full listing of all of the entertainers,” said Jaene Miranda, CEO of the Palms West Chamber of Commerce. “The website also provides a complete schedule of many other fun activities happening at the event.”
In addition to the main entertainers featured on Saturday night, the weekend offers something for everyone searching to add a little spice to their life. Chihuahua races and costume contests, carnival rides, bounce houses, domino competition, arts & crafts, stilt walkers, dance competition, activities for the kids, community performances and business expo will round out the flavor of this annual Latin festival.
Back for the third straight year is the Sizzling Salsa Cooking lineup that includes La Cucina de Ninos – the Kid’s Kitchen – competitions by young chefs from the Palm Beach County School District and Salsa Cooking Demonstrations. The fiery competition peaks as the event features mayors and officials from Greenacres, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee Groves and the Indian Trail Improvement District in a Sizzling Salsa Caliente Showdown.
Admission to SalsaFest is $10 on both Saturday and Sunday. Children 7 and under are free throughout the duration of the event. Families can purchase a 4-pack for $30. Advance tickets are available for purchase for $8.00 (a savings of $2 per individual ticket) online at www.SalsaFest.net and at Havana Restaurant and TD Bank branches throughout Palm Beach County.
