Salsa Grand 2026

About this event

Salsa Grand returns to Zagreb for its second edition, bringing three days of salsa, mambo, workshops, and social dancing to the 5-star Sheraton Zagreb Hotel from November 27–29, 2026.

The festival takes place as Zagreb enters its festive Advent and Christmas season, combining high-quality Salsa On1 and On2 workshops with seminars, daytime socials, shows, and late-night parties. Confirmed instructors include Diego & Yaritza, Bersy Cortez, Alicia Velasco, Willy & Jessy, Jose & Nerea, Martina & Ouissam, and Mambo Candela, with additional artists still to be announced.

Social dancing continues throughout the weekend with DJ Julian Duke, DJ Dmitri, DJ Rumbero, DJ Sergio, and DJ Fabris. Music runs from afternoon socials into the early morning hours, with a strong focus on salsa and mambo.

Workshops, parties, and accommodation are brought together at the Sheraton Zagreb, making it easy for attendees to move between classes, socials, and evening events throughout the weekend. The central Zagreb setting also puts dancers close to the city’s seasonal Advent celebrations.

Organized by the team behind the Croatian Summer Salsa Festival and Summer Bachata Festival, Salsa Grand combines dance education, social dancing, an international community, and the atmosphere of Zagreb during the holiday season.
