Salsa on the Baltic Sea
The Happy Salsa Festival is one of the most recent successful festivals on the Mecklenburg Baltic coast. In just three editions, it has established itself as a fixture in the German salsa scene. The concept: a participatory festival for the whole family, with workshops for all levels, open-air live concerts, and an atmosphere that transforms the Baltic Sea resort into a summery dance city.
Workshops and Live Program
International salsa dancers and choreographers offer professional salsa instruction for beginners and advanced dancers on-site. Many program items are free of charge. A special highlight includes concerts at the pier and in the concert garden — including a performance by Soneros de Verdad, the second generation of the Buena Vista Social Club.
Family-Friendly
Special dance offerings for children and animation programs make Kühlungsborn a family-friendly meeting point for salsa enthusiasts from all over Germany during the festival.
