Salsa in the Park: 2026 Summer Series
Experience the Rhythm in the Heart of Northampton
The City of Northampton’s Department of Arts and Culture invites you to the 2026 season of Salsa in the Park. Join us at Pulaski Park for three unforgettable evenings of world-class Latin music, community connection, and open-air dancing.
Whether you are a seasoned salsero or have never taken a step, this series is designed for all ages and skill levels.
