An exhilarating celebration of all things Latino is bursting into Melbourne this spring, featuring high-energy entertainment, mouth-watering authentic cuisine and explosions of colour in a jam-packed, adults-only one day festival. 

Ritmo Latino is set to be a non-stop dance party with a pumping entertainment line-up of energetic acts like Brazil's Danny Maia, Quarter Street and Calle Luna filling the d-floor with energetic Brazilian Salsa, Reggaeton, Timba, and authentic Colombian beats to have your hips swinging long into the night. Plus, there'll even be Latin dance workshops to make sure you've got the salsa steps downpat. 

Before you hit the dancefloor, there'll be loads more to explore at the fiesta – including showcases of Latin American culture with artworks and handcrafted works on show. Not to mention, a huge of array of delectable food will be available for feasting upon, from tacos and empanadas to tantalizing tequeños, arepas and burritos. Wash it down with Latin cocktails, with Mojitos, Caipirinhas, Piña Coladas and more being poured at the bar. 

The festival is on November 4, with two separate sessions – one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Tickets to both are $35, available online here.
