Sun & Salsa Festival, Fiestaval
With the Stampede just wrapped up, Calgary's festival season is in full gear. This past weekend Kensington's Sun & Salsa festival drew 100,000 festival goers and has evolved into one of the main summer festivals. Fiestaval, a Latino warmup to the bigger Expo Latina was also underway this past weekend.


Fiestaval Takes place at Olympic Plaza and is a warmup festival to August's Expo Latino

I happened to pass by Olympic plaza during Fiestaval. ( I thought it was Expo Latina) Isn't Expo Latina also at Olympic Plaza, or did they just rename Expo Latina? Anyhow, it was pretty cool.

^Did they move to Prince's Island to get more space? The festival's grown dramatically in the past few years.

Nice pictures. I forgot the Sun & Salsa was this past weekend. The weather is almost always good for that event, no wonder it's doing so well.

Sunday was a great day weather wise, I wish I had gone. I was planning on it, but the in-laws came up from Lethbridge, and put the kibosh on it

Nice to see them get crowds around 100k, it's obviously become very successful. I remember when the festival was just a few tents, and about a dozen competitors. Does anyone remember when this thing started?

I went last year and they had a $10 cover charge to get in and really shitty beer. Was completely unimpressed.
