Latin America Village

Our Village is fortunate to represent not one, but 24 countries in this hemisphere including the Caribbean plus Spain.  The main language is Spanish however other influential languages are Portuguese, English, Dutch, French and regional dialects.  Our heritage is influenced by Native Indigenous people, Spain, Africa and other European countries.  There are many accents and idiomatic speeches as there are countries in Latin America.  Our cuisine is different in each country but some common food staples include corn, rice and beans.  

What united us as a group is not easily defined but is a combination of our love of family and culture, our acceptance of different music, dances and cuisines, our main language (Spanish), friendliness and our desire to welcome you to our Village!

Expose your taste buds to tradicional Mexican tacos, Arroz con Pollo – Literally "chicken with rice," arroz con pollo is a remarkably consistent dish across the Americas and Spain. It is as simple as it sounds: chicken and rice cooked with vegetables, spices, and saffron (with other optional additions like peas and red peppers), favourite nachos and more. Our shows will feature a Live Latin Band from Toronto, our junior dance group (under 10), our youth group featuring Colombian cumbia and merengue. Other tranditional dances include Huellas Colombianas, Peruvian dance and Salsa.

Join us every night at 6 p.m. for Zumba Dance Fitness and experience the energy of Latin and World music with fun and easy dance moves.  You can also sample basic dance steps during our shows, both features presented by Art In Motion Dance Studio.

This year festival is our 4th year of operation and we look forward to welcoming you as our guest and having you leave as our friend!
