CANCELLED

The festival in its 27th edition will present international stars of great trajectory and emerging from July 29 to August 1

Tempo Latino, the leader Salsa Festival in France, resumes its activities after its forced pause due to the Pandemic. The whole family will be able to enjoy this summer in the open air, on its main stage “Les Arènes” of the presentations of established and emerging artists of Latin music in Vic-Fezensac (Gers, France) during the last weekend of July. Tickets for all performances are already available in advance since last January on their website.

Every day of the festival, before the nightly live performances, in between each concert or before leaving Les Arènes, Tempo Latino offers a Caribbean atmosphere where you can taste exquisite dishes and enjoy a guest DJ each day in La Conga. Also, you can do the same at Bar Habana, in front of the bullring “El Pueblito”. Here, from 12:30 P.M. to 1:30 P.M., you can improve your Salsa steps with Atocha Showman with a free dance lesson.
