TORONTO, CANADA — June 22, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Canadian Salsa Festivals Project (CSFP) announces its expanded 2026 season slate, featuring a dynamic, year-round lineup of festivals and programs for the entire familia —including a first-time expansion into Niagara Falls.

NEW For 2026 Salsa at Niagara Falls – September 12 & 13
This year’s lineup features an exciting expansion to one of Canada’s most iconic tourism destinations with the inaugural Salsa at Niagara Falls in partnership with Niagara Falls Tourism, Niagara Parks Commission, and Fallsview Casino Resort.

“Salsa at Niagara Falls is exactly the kind of vibrant, world-class event our destination is made for, it’s a perfect addition to our September calendar for the next several years. We’re delighted to welcome this celebration of Latin music, dance, and food for the first time, and we know its energy will ripple through our community and activate Niagara Falls collectively.” — Adam Stiles, Interim President and CEO, Niagara Falls Tourism

The CSFP welcomes expanded support from longstanding festival sponsor TD Bank Group, growing its title sponsorship to include Salsa Tremblant in Quebec’s Laurentians region, while also renewing as title sponsor of Salsa on St. Clair in Toronto and Salsa at Blue Mountain in Collingwood.

“Festivals like TD Salsa on St. Clair bring people together to celebrate what shapes us — our stories, food, music, and art. We're proud to support access to cultural experiences that help people feel welcome, seen and connected." — Robyn Small, Senior Manager, Philanthropy, Corporate Citizenship, TD Bank Group
