Dear LSF Family,
With very heavy hearts we announce that Latin Sparks Festival will not be taking place this summer. This decision was made in alignment with Public Health Ontario and City guidelines.
The Latin Sparks Festival has always strived to do one thing: bring the community together to celebrate Latin dance and culture. Over the past year, our team has worked extremely hard with our suppliers, vendors and artists to create an incredible experience for you all this summer. Then, the global pandemic happened. And while we will absolutely miss your smiling dancing faces, we support our partners in public health in taking the necessary precautions to keep our community safe and healthy.
Please note the following ticket options:
Note: If you bought your ticket with a third-party distributor, please contact them directly and they will service you accordingly.
We truly appreciate your understanding during this troubling time. In the meantime, stay connected online as we work creatively to deliver new ways to celebrate Latin dance and culture. 2021 here we come!
Stay Safe & Keep on Dancing!

“A seriously epic experience! Latin Sparks has been so much fun year after year. The festival brings such a raw and contagious energy. Definitely nothing like any other Latin event I’ve attended in Canada. LOVE that it’s outdoors! I felt like I was on the streets of Havana!”
“Most fun I've ever had out dancing in Canada or Ecuador. No judgement, just pure fun. One hell of a party! Came from out of town for the event and my Latino husband and I will definitely be going again next year!”
“As soon as I got close to Albert Island, I could feel the energy. Such a different vibe than a bar or a nightclub. The place is on fire! Everyone is dancing - even though the majority of us didn’t know how to dance lol, we were dancing like nothing could stop us!”
“Latin Sparks... don't know where to start!!!! When I think of summer in Ottawa, I would say this event is the only thing that keeps me stationed here and not wanting to be somewhere else! It brings so much energy, great music and new friendships! It's unbelievable...!”
“Fun filled and entertaining, it brings people together and spreads the love. It makes the world seem as one! I really enjoy it and hope it goes on for years to come…”
Nothing but smiles! Check out some of the best moments at Latin Sparks over the past 8 years.
