The Sun and Salsa Festival was an annual festival put on in the Kensington Business Revitalization Zone (BRZ) of Calgary, Alberta.[1][2][3][4][5] It took place along 10 Street and Kensington Road, which both have parts closed off to traffic.[1] Attendance at the festival has grown to around 100,000 in 2010.[6] In 2015, organisers announced that the festival would be cancelled due to construction developments in the community, citing sidewalks, trees, and streetlights upgrades as key factors.[7][8] Since then, the festival has been under an indefinite hiatus.
Features
The festival features a competition for the best Salsa, Best Presentation Salsa & Most Creative Salsa.[1][3] It has a variety of merchant booths (food and merchandise). It includes a fashion show to showcase the area's fashion retailers. As well it includes various entertainment, such as musical acts and dancing, on multiple stages. The festival serves as a fundraiser for its charities, which as of 2010, are the Brenda Strafford Centre and Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids.[9]
