SALSA ON ST.CLAIR STREET FESTIVAL LAUNCHES
LATINO WEEK IN TORONTO

SATURDAY JULY 14 & SUNDAY JULY 15, 2007


Get your fix of street salsa and all that Latin culture has to offer as the Hillcrest Village BIA, the Wychwood Heights BIA, TLN Television & the City of Toronto heat up the summer with the 3rd annual Salsa on St. Clair Street Festival.

SALSA ON ST. CLAIR STREET FESTIVAL
Saturday, July 14th – Noon to 11pm
Sunday, July 15th – Noon to 8pm

*Between Winona Drive and Wychwood Ave on St. Clair Avenue West
(FREE admission)

In light of the overwhelming success of the Salsa on St Clair Street Festival, attracting over 500,000 Canadians to the streets of Toronto since its launch in 2005, TLN, in partnership with the City of Toronto, is thrilled to announce that this year’s Salsa on St. Clair Street Festival will be even bigger and better.

As the official launch of Latino Week in Toronto, this FREE family street party celebrating Toronto’s Latin cultures will turn over 200,000 square feet of midtown Toronto, just west of Bathurst Street between Winona Drive and Wychwood Avenue, into a showcase of Latin life: pulsating music, passionate dancing, fiery foods, a Latin market, a children’s area and for the first time ever an interactive soccer zone.

Join revelers in celebrating the world’s greatest game at this summer’s biggest soccer street party where participants can test their soccer skills and enjoy various soccer exhibitions. PLUS a live broadcast of the Copa America final will be broadcast on large TV screens imbedded throughout the festival area on Sunday afternoon.

“Salsa on St. Clair has helped to put this neighborhood on the map,” said Victor Cappella, Co-Chairman of the Hillcrest Village BIA. “We’re expecting even bigger things this year."

“We’re ecstatic that Salsa on St. Clair is getting bigger and growing into our neighbourhood,” said Tony Bassels, the chair of the Wychwood Heights BIA, which for the first time will house a newly expanded Children’s Area at the event. “Bring the kids, enjoy the food, the people, the music – it’s going to be hot!”

This year’s festival will again be hosted by Ismael Cala, Miami-based CNN anchor and the host of TLN Television’s Calando A. The media partners for the event include 99.1 FM CBC Radio One Toronto and Yahoo! Canada.

Ward 21 Toronto City Councillor Joe Mihevc added, “I'm thrilled as always to be a part of Salsa on St. Clair. Local restaurateurs and storeowners are already getting geared up for a very busy weekend.”

“This event fully integrates TLN’s live event, programming and media partners to create a total interactive experience,” said John Montesano, TLN Television’s VP and GM. “We’re thrilled by its enormous success.”

Don’t miss this summer’s hottest street party!
