The event of the new season

The festival's eighth edition, hosted once again by Philippe Fehmiu, is shaping up to be this fall's must-attend event, so be sure to mark the dates on your calendar. 

Let yourself get swept away by the infectious energy of reggaeton, Afro-house, cumbia, K-pop, and kompa. From Wednesday through Sunday, from 6 to 10 p.m., you can catch performances by Isabella Lovestory, Moonshine, and Boogát; join dance lessons led by well-known names like Alex Francoeur and Latin Groove Montréal; and help celebrate kompa’s 70th birthday. Are you ready for a truly mind-blowing experience?
