Presented by the Strictly Street Salsa dance studio, El Festival de la Salsa brings Houston’s annual spring of salsa to a celebratory close with hours of performances by live salsa bands, including the Houston All Stars, Salsa Orchestra, and the Latin Jazz Ensemble. As many as 5,000 fans and dancers gather to swish and sway to the music, or gatherers can pause to take in tributes to famed salsa great such as Celia Cruz and Ruben Blades. While performers coax sensual beats from their instruments on the main stage, a kid-friendly zone provides structured fun and play for tykes whose attention might escape the rhythm’s hold every now and then.
