LSF POSTPONED

2021 Update

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:

Validate your ticket to the next event
Your ticket will be validated to Latin Sparks Festival 2022. This ticket is transferable to family and friends. No action is required to validate your ticket.
Convert Your Ticket to a Donation
As a not-for-profit organization, our priority is to celebrate arts and culture by supporting our local artists that make our core community. Festival organizers and artists that depend on seasonal shows have been deeply impacted by the crisis through event/gig cancellations. Your donation to the Latin Sparks Festival will go a long way to help us get through these tough times and continue to support our mission to celebrate Latin American culture through music and dance. Click here to donate your ticket.
Request a Refund
‍Click here to request a refund (minus processing fees). Refunds will only be processed until December 31st, 2021.

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

testimonials

Attendee Love

“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!”

Sarah Arruda

Toronto

“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!”

Milaina Larsen

Ottawa

“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!”

Rami Boraie

Ottawa

“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...!”

Ivana Jovanovic

Ottawa
