LSF Familia, we miss you!
We want to start by saying THANK YOU for your patience, understanding, and loyalty throughout these unprecedented times. Our community has been extremely faithful to us and we greatly appreciate your support. It definitely feels weird to think that it has been two years since we last saw each other on the dance floor.
While reopening timelines and optimistic forecasts are now in sight for Canada, we must sadly announce that, in accordance with public health guidelines, hosting the Latin Sparks Festival this summer is unrealistic.
Our team has worked tirelessly all year to implement the right protocols to safely bring the community together to celebrate Latin dance and culture once again. Although this is not the news that we were hoping to deliver, rest assured that better days are coming and Latin Sparks Festival is here to stay.
That said, please note the following ticket options listed below:
In the meantime, stay connected with us online as we work creatively to deliver new ways to celebrate Latin dance and culture.
Until then, stay safe and keep on dancing!
Sincerely,
The Latin Sparks Festival Crew

“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.
