Salsa on the Square
Thursdays, 7 pm to 10 pm
Fountain Square can get hot in the summer, but it’s a lot hotter on Thursday nights when bands like Tropicoso, Acapulco, Son del Caribe, and ¡Zumba! lay down spicy Latin rhythms. Instructors on the dance floor teach the basic steps, and when it gets too hot, dancers can cool down with a cold soft drink or adult beverage.
