M	Monique Zareba on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Latin sparks is without a doubt my favorite event of the year! The organizers always surprise me with something unique and exciting each time around - 2-3 DJs, dancers, entertainers, food, drinks and a unique venue. It's about time ottawa hosts an event like this !!
J	Jessica Castillo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Latin Sparks!!! Wow I felt as though I was back home in Peru! The festival brought such a raw and contagious energy. Definitely nothing like any other Latin event I’ve attended in Ottawa, or even Canada. You’re dancing salsa outside in the summer heat with thousands of Canadians from all over the world. A great party and a truly unique and memorable experience. Thank you SO much for putting this event together. Hope you keep it year after year.
Z	Zahra Liberté Aldünia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A seriously epic experience!! Latin Sparks has been so much fun year after year, and it just keeps getting bigger and better!! The music keeps you dancing all night long, like like you're on the streets of Havana! The food stalls are such a cultural experience, and beverage stalls keep you hydrated refreshed and joyful! :) If you can't dance salsa as a guy, don't worry, your bros got your back with lessons prior to full out partying, and if you can't dance as a girl, also don't worry because there are plenty of guys to take the lead and show you how! :) Great ice-breaker! :) Can't wait for the summer!
C	Catherine Simard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I heard about this event from a friend who had attended the previous year. I heard about this event from a friend who had attended the previous year. She told me it’s very different from what we normally do and that it’s worth the trip down from MTL to attend. She was absolutely right! What impressed me most was the amount of content and things happening during the event. Between the dance workshops, performances, food trucks, DJs, dancers, drummers, carnival costumes, etc. there was never a dull moment. We arrived just after 10:30 PM and from the moment we got there, we never stopped dancing (even though none of us actually “know” how to dance). We stayed until the very end (around 2:15 AM). There was a great vibe and the people were all very friendly. It felt like a connected community coming together for one special night. Latin Sparks was the highlight of my summer. I cannot wait for 2018! P.S. Bring this event to Montreal!
H	Hala Al-Hafez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved this event! An amazing vibe! Amazing music! Outdoor bars and dancing! Couldnt have asked for more!
R	Rami Boraie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the festival was amazing! I had heard about it for the past couple of years but never made it out. Finally, i said I’d give it a try. As soon as I got close to Albert Island, I could feel the energy. Such a different vibe than a bar or a night club. the place is on fire. everyone is dancing - even though the majority of us didn’t know how to dance, we were dancing like nothing could stop us! Also, the event being outside gives this feeling of freedom. You can see the stars, the open air keeps you cool, you’re overlooking the Ottawa River… honestly what else could you ask for. All in all this was one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen in Ottawa. You’ll definitely see me in 2018 and I’m definitely not waiting until the last minute to buy my ticket!
N	N Shah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing atmosphere, music, and acts on stage. Performers did a great job engaging the audience from simple to more complex steps/moves. Location was great, and accommodates a large crowd. 3 separate sections for dancing. You'll be sure to find something you like. Food trucks provided good food (3 veggie tacos for ~$10) (and churros for dessert!). Never a line up to get drinks. Not much seating for food, but you shouldn't need it for long because the music will pull you in. If you need a dance partner there are people who wear "Ask me to dance" shirts. Well worth the price ?. 10/10 would salsa again.
K	Kristin Horton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Latin Sparks festival puts on one of the biggest block parties on the province. I love the dancing and the food vendors. I have for the last three years and had a wonderful time. All of the preformers are excellent and provide the ultimate dancing experience for those who attend. They also generously donate to some of the charities I volunteer for throughout the city.
