Latin Spring Festival

Overview

Eat, drink and dance your way from Spain to Argentina at Melbourne's first ever Latin Spring Festival. A dozen music acts will join food vendors and retailers at the Pentridge precinct in Coburg this weekend, for a two-day celebration of everything Latin culture has to offer.

Featured at the festival will be some of Melbourne's best Latin musicians, playing everything from salsa and flamenco to Mexican folk, rock and pop. Naturally you'll want to bring your dancing shoes — and yes, they'll even have lessons for those with two left feet.

The festival will also be home to a full-blown Latin food expo, which sounds perfect for when you've salsa'd up an appetite. Expect tacos, paella and Chilean-style hot dogs, along with cocktails and sangria to wash it all down.
