Salsa Kingdom – September 24 to 26, 2010 – Southport, United Kingdom

Salsa Kingdom
September 24 to 26, 2010
Southport, United Kingdom
Welcome to the home of the 3rd Annual Salsa Kingdom 2010, the UK's Premier Latin Music and Dance Festival.
Following its two highly acclaimed predecessors, this year's Salsa Kingdom is bigger, bolder and better than ever.
In this, the festival's third year, we will be taking over the classic seaside resort of Southport once more and turning it into a living, breathing region of Latin America for the entire festival weekend.
We will be bringing even more theatre shows, bands, dance workshops and Salsa parties to the event, making the weekend so packed full of fun and genuine Salsa flavour that you'd swear you were on the beaches of Cuba or the streets of Havana.
Whether you are joining us for an hour or the whole weekend it's going to be Europe's biggest and best non-stop Salsa party – Salsa Kingdom style.
