VOSF 2025.
We successfully hosted our first ever Vancouver Outdoor Salsa Festival in August 2025 at Hastings Mill Park, which welcomed hundreds of attendees from throughout Vancouver, a variety of amazing performances, a live band, DJ sets, dance workshops, and local vendors. It was a full day of sunshine, music, dancing, and smiles! We are so excited to make the VOSF an accessible summer tradition for all ages and walks of life, and are already in the process of organizing next year's!
