Latin Sparks Festival

Latin Sparks Festival Canada's Favourite Latin Festival! It all started in the summer of 2012- when Latin Sparks was just a group of friends dancing on Sparks St every Thursday.

Since then, it has become one of Ottawa's most anticipated summer events. By 2013- it turned into a Saturday night block party that gathered a thousand people. In 2014- Latin Sparks grew from 1 block party to 5- and transformed Sparks Street to a two block Latin dance party. But, it didn't stop there! By 2016- Latin Sparks moved to the Island- Albert Island, to truly experience and celebrate the Latin culture. And the good times continue at Latin Sparks 2017...
