About this Festival
Festival de la Salsa en Cuba is Havana's biggest festival of Cuban popular dance music, founded in 2016 by bandleader Maykel Blanco of Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor and backed by Cuban cultural institutions such as Artex and Paradiso. It is a concert festival rather than a dance congress: several top Cuban orchestras play each night for a mostly local crowd, with past lineups including Los Van Van, Alexander Abreu y Havana D'Primera and Elito Reve y su Charangon. The 11th edition is announced for February 25 to 28, 2027 in Havana; the 2026 edition took place at the Estacion Cultural de Linea y 18 in Vedado, and the 2027 venue has not been announced yet.
