Kensington Heats Up With Sun And Salsa
DATE: Sunday, July 24, 2011
TIME: 11:00 am until 5:00 pm
Start with tomatoes, add garlic and hot peppers, and garnish with cilantro! Set fire to those taste buds during Kensington’s 18th annual SUN AND SALSA FESTIVAL.
Kensington, Calgary’s ‘Village in the City’, invites you to participate in the Salsa Tasting Contest. Kensington businesses will serve up over 500 gallons of 40 different salsas. You get to be the judge. Purchase a bag of chips from our Charities for $3 or 2 for $5, and taste test your way through all the spicy salsa recipes served up by teams of Kensington businesses. Our Charities will also be selling water for $2.
This annual family event takes place along Kensington Road and 10th Street NW. Seven live entertainment stages will spread Latin flavour through the neighbourhood if you want to listen to music and dance. Bring your kids to the Children’s Carnival zone for family orientated entertainment and fun! Check out Kensington fashions on the Pageant stage or be astonished by our strongman in the King of Kensington Strongman Event. And of course all our great Kensington retailers, restaurants and pubs will be open for your shopping and eating pleasure. Along with the streets being filled with vendors & artisans selling a variety of products & services for the day.
Both Kensington Road and 10th Street will be closed for the day. There’s an LRT stop right at the Kensington Safeway, so public transit is a great way to beat the crowds. And we’re right off the bike paths so why not ride, blade, run or walk on over to our festival!
