This has to be one of Melbourne's liveliest and most colourful festivals. Melbourne's Latin Summer Festival is a celebration of art, culture and entertainment Latin America style.

And let's face it this vibrant culture can teach us staid Melburnians how to party.



This Latin fiesta is at Fed Square on January the 10th. It is a day that nearly jumps our of its skin with so much energy, charisma and enthusiasm.

They'll be energetic dancing like you have never seen before, with wild costumes and circus-style performances as well as live bands and DJs.

You can enter in the colourful parades or try out Latin dance moves including the Salsa, Samba, Capoeira and Batucada.

Nearby at River Terrace the food is waiting for you and oh, what glorious foods. The heat is on if you like a bit of chilli. They'll be spicy dishes from Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. Tacos and paellas are only a starting point the food here will stretch your experiences of glorious Latin food.



Many will come from Melbourne's food trucks for there is a strong contingency of Latin inspired food trucks that really stand out from the pack.

A fully licensed bar will also be available.

This free multicultural themed festival is a great way to rejoice in Melbourne's rich and diverse Latin culture. Which is a long winded way of saying: Let's party!"




While there is a lot of fun going on the festival also takes the opportunity to alert people to Latin America's environmental, economic and social issues that impact Australia and the world.
