La Klave Festival 2026

About this event

La Klave Festival 2026 brings a full weekend of salsa and bachata to Dortmund from November 13 to 15, 2026.

It kicks off on Friday, November 13, with pre-party workshops and a welcome party on two dance floors at Toyka´s (TSC Eintracht). On Saturday, November 14, the main day takes place at Dietrich-Keuning-Haus: a full day of workshops followed by the big festival night with two dedicated dance areas for salsa and bachata.

A special highlight is the live concert by TUMBAKIN, bringing timba and salsa cubana to the stage. On Sunday, November 15, intensive bootcamps at two La Klave locations round out the training before the weekend winds down with the goodbye party at BierCafé West.

With international artists, DJs, shows, socials, and live music, the festival is focused on community, music, and dancing together.
