Every Monday during the summer months! June 11th-August 27 (no Salsa In The Park on July 2nd)!


Picture this: It's summer in Boston. At least once a week, under the locust trees of a courtyard patio surrounded by basketball games and children playing, lies 2-3 dance floors that heat up while the cool of the evening and night breezes through. Dance floors are filled with footwork, styling, twists and turns from dance and music lovers from all over Greater Boston! You've entered Salsa In The Park.


A free and popular outdoor summer series for all ages, backgrounds and abilities, Salsa In The Park is an innovative community engagement project that transforms public space for public benefit through music, dance and education. A public health initiative, featuring movement as a key to wellness, it draws over 500 people from all walks of life every Monday evening from 6pm to 9pm for salsa instruction (dance and percussion), high quality performances showcasing a variety of cultures and genres, social dancing and health and wellness promotion. Our weekly Salsa In The Park is held at South End's Blackstone Community Center courtyard every summer.


Many salsa & Latin dancers in Boston claim Salsa In The Park as their favorite event of the city, not only for the appeal of dancing outside "al aire libre," and witnessing engaging performances, but as a way to give back to the community. Dancers, and non dancers, volunteer all summer by donating their time to teach dance lessons to people of all ages and varying abilities; performing at the event; setting up and breaking down the dance floors; assisting with event staffing; maintaining a recycling program; and cleaning up from the festivities late into the night.
