Providence Salsa Bachata Festival 2025

About this event

Providence Salsa Bachata Festival (PSBF) 2025 lights up New England’s Latin-dance scene at the enVision Hotel & Conference Center from Friday – Saturday, November 14-15. The celebration actually kicks off the night before—Thursday, November 13—with a laid-back pre-party at Mangos Restaurant in Pawtucket (9 PM–1 AM) featuring DJ Alriv, the perfect warm-up for an action-packed weekend.

During the day, dancers of every level can dive into a full slate of salsa and bachata workshops taught by a growing roster of regional and national artists. Evenings bring polished stage showcases and marathon socials that roll late into the night, giving everyone plenty of floor time to practice fresh material.

Each night comes with a distinctive vibe: Friday’s “Neon Party” encourages glow-in-the-dark creativity, while Saturday’s “Dress to Impress” gala invites your sharpest attire for a splash of ballroom glamour. Mid-afternoon on Saturday, festival-goers can trade dance shoes for flip-flops at the legendary Bachata Pool Party (4 PM–7 PM) hosted by DJ Locura—an upbeat mix of sun, music, and social dancing without ever leaving the hotel.

The enVision’s 17,000 sq ft ballroom, discounted room block, free parking, and on-site bar make it easy to stay on property from first workshop to last tanda. Between classes, browse vendor booths, snap photos with performers, or take a quick ride into downtown Providence’s historic waterfront just twenty minutes away.

Whether you’re polishing technique, building new dance friendships, or chasing that late-night social buzz, PSBF offers a vibrant, two-day immersion where New England’s salsa and bachata communities unite under one roof. Passes and hotel rooms sell out fast—lock yours in early!
