Outdoor Salsa Party & Free Dance Lessons | Yerba Buena Gardens Festival

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Yerba Buena Gardens Festival kicks off the monthly open air dance party Let’s Go Salsa @ Jessie with the amazing SF salsa band Mazacote.

Led by timbalero Louie Romero, Mazacote is a swinging old school salsa band, specializing in the golden age New York sound that came about in the 1970’s. Romero’s pedigree is second to none, having been the timbales player for Hector Lavoe, Willie Colón, Celia Cruz, and Ruben Blades.

>> The party starts at 6pm in Jessie Square, right across the street from the Yerba Buena Gardens. Come early for free salsa lessons
