Riviera Latina Festival Weggis
Salsa Festival
About this event
The Riviera Latina Festival Weggis brings “salsa y sabor” back to the lakeside promenade from May 22 to 24, 2026. This three-day open-air festival features dancing, concerts, DJ sets, shows, and plenty of Latin American energy right on Lake Lucerne.
At the pavilion by the lake, guests can enjoy a lively Latino Village with art, food, and a varied program for all ages. Friday begins at 5:00 PM with DJ music, the Latino Village, and evening shows. Saturday starts at 2:00 PM with music, children’s entertainment, show highlights, and an evening concert with special guest Roby Pulido, followed by dancing until 2:00 AM. Sunday begins at 9:30 AM with an ecumenical church service and apéro, followed in the afternoon by DJs, children’s entertainment, shows, and a concert by Dar Vida.
The beautiful lakeside setting makes the festival a welcoming meeting place for dance fans, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy Latin vibes by the water.
Admission is free. In 2026, the festival supports the charity project “niños jugando.”
Public transportation is recommended. Weggis can be reached directly by boat from Lucerne, and parking in the village is limited.
