Sponsored by Project Gettysburg-León, Salsa on the Square observes the 40+ years of Gettysburg's Sister City relationship with León, Nicaragua. Join the Fiesta to celebrate the vital role Latino people play in our community. Enjoy dancing - the first block of Carlisle Street, from Lincoln Square to the railroad tracks will be closed for the fun to take place. The dance will feature Latin music by Hector Rosado and his Orquesta A-CHE. DJ Solalinde will be on hand to play dance music between the sets and before the band begins. There will be amazing food served by Casa de la Cultura, local food trucks, and our friends at Tacos Monarca in their location on Carlisle Street. Waldo's and Company will be serving creative drinks and have outdoor and indoor seating for guests.

There will be plenty of other cultural expressions in addition to the food, music, and dancing. The Gigantona, a large Nicaraguan folk doll, will again make her appearance. A sawdust carpet will be constructed in the children's games area with the help of Gettysburg College students.

If you are a student interested in earning service hours, you can volunteer for Salsa on the Square and help with setup, info tables, the kids table, and teardown.
