A live mariachi performance at Carnaval del Sol

Spice up your summer with some Latin American flair at the eighth annual Carnaval del Sol with countries from Central and South America bringing their culture to the Lower Mainland.

The food plaza hosts cuisine from dozens of countries; from Mexico to Colombia to Brazil to Argentina. Join in a game of soccer or learn how to salsa or get your heart beating with zumba. On top of that, live music and cultural performances come to life on the main stage. There’s fun for everyone, including activities for families with children.

Carnaval del Sol takes place Saturday, July 9th and Sunday, July 10th at Concord Pacific Place, 88 Pacific Blvd in Vancouver. Carnaval del Sol is easily reachable by transit with a short walk from either the Stadium-Chinatown or Main Street-Science World SkyTrain stations.
