TYPE OF EVENT & VENUE
An annual free outdoor street fair event held along West 111th Street in Spanish Harlem that's been happening for 44 years! The salsa music and dancing take place in a huge school yard with a stage and sound system and a big crowd of hundreds of people enjoying the music and getting up and dancing. The salsa dancing and stage area are set up in a huge playground of a neighborhood school, where restrooms are available (bring your own toilet paper!).
MUSIC Mostly pure classic salsa plus some cha cha, bachata & merengue.
DJ Long-time salsa DJ Efraim.
BAND Always.
BEVERAGES AND FOOD
It's a street fair so you will find food and beverages being sold from stands set up along the sidewalks of 111th Street. Especially typical for street festivals in Latin neighborhoods, women who live there set up tables outside their buildings and sell beverages and Spanish food which they've just cooked upstairs in their homes. !Deliciosa! The food section is usually on East 111th Street between 5th and Madison Avenues, but it may change, so just walk along the several blocks of 111th Street between Lexington and Lenox Avenues.
DESCRIPTION
