For two days, Virginia Beach celebrates the sights and sounds of the Latin experience. LatinFest possesses the key ingredients of good food, family participation, and first-rate Latin music.  National performers electrify a diverse audience with high-energy tunes that move the crowd to dance under the stars. Local and regional Latin acts take the stage and unite festival-goers with the rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, and Jazz.  Headline performances take place on a giant stage on the beach at 24th Street.  The Zumba fitness marathon begins at 8:00am on Saturday.  Zumba is the Latin-inspired, easy-to-follow calorie-burning craze!  Meet some of the area’s best instructors.  Participate for one hour or all four!  Vendors and cultural activities in the park round out the festival.  Latin Fest is a FREE event.
