Race St. Salsa Fest

Join us for Day One of the inaugural Race Street SalsaFest at De la Luz—two days of food, rhythm, culture, and connection on the edge of Holyoke’s Puerto Rican Cultural District. It’s a summer party and the one year anniversary of our forever home. Everyone is welcome and registration is requested to secure your spot.

The evening lineup includes:

• 5:00 PM – Holyoke Food and Equity Collective’s Summer Gathering Meal (Sliding Scale $0-$20; Advance registration appreciated)

• 7:00 PM – Free Salsa Lesson with McCoy Jamison in the Soundstage

• 8:00 PM – Live performance by local favorites Sharina y su Conjunto Guajiba in the Divine Theater

• 9:00 PM – Orquesta El Macabeo (Puerto Rico) brings down the house with a 14-piece live salsa explosion in the Soundstage

• 10:30 PM – Late Night Vinyl with DJ Studebaker Hawk

Come for the music or the food, the dancing, or perhaps the margaritas. Bring your family and invite your friends. The festival is FREE and has something to offer for everyone.
