Get ready for the colours of Central and South American culture to come alive down at Bondi Beach. From free dance workshops to everything Latino, it’s a day of music, food and plenty of dancing.

Doubt us? Let us explain further: you'll be entertained by an extraordinary musical line up, including Canberra's Mi Tierra, winner of the Clave Contra Clave national Latin band competition. They'll be joined by Club Havana Band with special guest Carlos C-Major, Brazil Australia Band and Tribalisimo, not to mention a killer Latin DJ line up headed by DJ Don Juan and MC Rafa, along with DJ Av El Cubano “The Cuban Ambassador”, DJ Dwight Chocolate Escobar and star guest DJ Johnny Gleeson dropping a purpose-built Tribal House set. Add an exotic array of dancers, including Rhythm Brazil, and you've a Latin force to be reckoned with.

There'll also be workshops in Zumba, Salsa, Tango and Cuban dance, foods from across South and Central America, costume and instrument making workshops, art and craft stalls and the Bondi Pavilion Art Gallery will be hosting “Rio in Bondi”, an exhibition of remarkable photographs by Franco Brazilian photographer Emmanuelle Bernard.
