Salsa Festival Czech Republic 2026

About this event

Salsa Festival Czech Republic 2026 brings three days of salsa, bachata, and Latin rhythms to Prague from 21 August 2026 at Hotel Olympik Congress in Praha 8. Positioned as the official representative salsa event of the Czech Republic, the festival is designed to connect Europe with the authentic spirit of Latin dance and music.

The program features high quality workshops in salsa cubana, salsa on2, bachata, son, Afro-Cuban dance, body movement, and musicality. Classes are led by an international lineup that includes artists such as Adonis Santiago, Wilmer & Maria, Charlie & Vero, Hanser & Vilma, Jose Mari & Patri, Jesús Javier, and Yanedis & Daniel, with additional names to be announced.

Evenings are dedicated to social dancing with live salsa orchestras, top Latin DJs, and professional shows that turn the hotel into a full festival playground. A friendly international crowd of dancers from across Europe creates a welcoming atmosphere for both first-time festival-goers and seasoned social dancers.

All festival activities take place under one roof at Hotel Olympik Congress, with spacious halls, strong sound systems, on-site accommodation, and easy access to Prague’s historic center. Participants can stay, dance, rest, and enjoy the parties in the same venue, without having to travel between locations.

Founded by professional dancer and choreographer Hanser Estenoz, the festival’s mission is to showcase the Czech Republic on the international salsa scene while celebrating Latin culture, community, and connection. Early bird tickets are available in limited quantities, with purchase options in both CZK and EUR through partner sites linked on the official festival webpage.
