Salsa at Niagara Falls: CSFP Expands 2026 Festival Season

The Canadian Salsa Festivals Project (CSFP) has announced its expanded 2026 season, featuring a year-round lineup of festivals and programs, including a first-time expansion into Niagara Falls. This new addition, Salsa at Niagara Falls, scheduled for September 12-13, is a partnership with Niagara Falls Tourism, Niagara Parks Commission, and Fallsview Casino Resort. Adam Stiles, Interim President and CEO of Niagara Falls Tourism, expressed excitement, stating, 'Salsa at Niagara Falls is exactly the kind of vibrant, world-class event our destination is made for... we know its energy will ripple through our community and activate Niagara Falls collectively.' The festival series also sees expanded support from TD Bank Group, which has increased its title sponsorship to include Salsa Tremblant in Quebec's Laurentians region, while renewing as title sponsor of Salsa on St. Clair in Toronto and Salsa at Blue Mountain in Collingwood. Robyn Small, Senior Manager at TD Bank Group, emphasized the importance of such events in bringing communities together through food, music, and art.

Returning festivals include TD Salsa at Blue Mountain (June 26-28), TD Salsa on St. Clair (July 11-12), and TD Salsa Tremblant (August 21-23). TD Salsa on St. Clair, Canada's largest Latin-themed free street festival, will feature over 350 live performers, including JUNO nominee Andy Rubal and award-winning Latin/tropical artist Yani Borrell. The festival also includes a Fiesta Parade, over 35 authentic Latin food vendors, and 25+ dance instructors. TLN Media Group, the founder and longstanding official media partner, has been instrumental in transforming the local street celebration into a nationally recognized cultural platform. Aldo Di Felice, President of TLN Media Group, noted, 'Salsa in Toronto has become one of Canada’s premier cultural celebrations... creating meaningful social and economic impact across Ontario and beyond.'

Additional returning programs include the Vibrante Latin Art Exhibition, free dance lessons across Southern Ontario, Salsa on Market Street, and family salsa dance lessons at Toronto museums. The CSFP, a federally incorporated not-for-profit, aims to elevate public appreciation of Canada's multicultural traditions. For more information, visit salsaintoronto.com or follow @salsaintoronto.
