July 7th & 8th, 2018 – Concord Pacific

See: http://www.carnavaldelsol.ca

Carnaval Del Sol is the biggest Latin festival in the Pacific Northwest. It will be 2 days of live music, art, dance, sports, and poetry in celebration of Latin American Culture. For 2018, Carnaval del Sol will bring together more than 450+ artists from different Latin American countries.

Carnaval del Sol, recreates the atmosphere of a vibrant city plaza in Latin America. The arts showcased during this event include live musical bands, Native Canadian and Latin American visual art, traditional folk dances from different countries, arts and crafts displays, dancing and culinary lessons (1 international chef, 10 local chefs) and a Latin American inspired fashion show.

Carnaval del Sol is presented for the enjoyment of Latinos and the local community. These activities are developed to engage and connect the various communities in British Columbia. Carnaval del Sol is the finale to the 10 day long Latin American Week. The shared objective of Carnaval del Sol and Latin American Week is to act as a much-needed bridge between Vancouver’s rapidly growing Latin American communities and other communities. Arts and culture are universal languages that unite people and allow cities to grow and thrive.

About Latincouver

Founded in 2009, Latincouver is a non-profit organization that brings together both Latin Americans and Latin enthusiasts living in B.C. This vast network can be compared to the public square or, as it is common said in Latin America, la plaza. In the past, the plaza acted as the social and economic hub of a city and as the heart of the community, playing an important role in bringing people together. Latincouver is the modern-day plaza at which professional connections are made, and entrepreneurs get the help they need for their businesses to grow and succeed.
