Salsa in the Street 2026 - FREE Outdoor Street Dance

Are you ready for the last Street Dance of the Summer!?! Mark your calendars, Winona, because this one’s going to be HOT. Downtown Third Street will be twisting and vibing to the sounds of LIVE Latin music at the much-anticipated fall dance “Salsa In The Street!”
On Friday, September 18 from 6-11 pm, RAIN OR SHINE, the community is invited to a free dance party thrown by River City Ballroom Dancers/Breitlow Ballroom. April Dahl will teach a beginning Salsa lesson from 6-7 pm, Salsa del Soul will provide LIVE Latin music from 7-9 pm. Late-night Latin dancing in the street will continue on from 9-11 pm with a DJ.
Salsa del Soul is a Twin Cities-based, nine-piece orchestra that performs various styles of dance music from the Spanish-speaking regions of the Caribbean. They represent some of the finest talents in the Twin Cities Latin music scene with styles including Son, Son Montuno, Plena, Cha-cha-cha, Bachata, Merengue, Timba, and, of course, Salsa!
This incredible event will be on Third Street at the corner of Center Street (in front of Blooming Grounds).
ALL ARE WELCOME at this party...Come fill our street with music and dancing for the final event of the season!
P.S. Stop by Peter's Biergarten at 5:30 pm (just before the Salsa Lesson) to attend Project Fine's Citizenship Celebration. Take part in a recognition of naturalized citizens, enjoy cultural performances, and celebrate Winona's diversity with other community members!
