About Carnaval del Sol

Carnaval del Sol’s aim is recreating a Latin American fiesta experience in downtown Vancouver! Amid exciting music, food and cheers; for two days you will be immersed into numerous activities: outdoor salsa & zumba lessons, a mini world cup street soccer tournament, an arts and crafts market, an array of children activities, environmental education activities, and much more! This event will make all citizens and visitors experience the authentic Hispanic culture, food, arts and music!

History

The concept of Carnaval del Sol came from Paola V. Murillo, founder of Latincouver, who recognized some of the challenges immigrants faced during her time working at a recruitment agency. “Latincouver is our association where latinos and locals support each other,” says Paola. “With Carnaval del Sol, we bring that concept to life, like a “plaza”, to show the identity and strength of our network. The first Carnaval de Sol was in 2009 at the Hellenic Community with 500 people. For the last edition the event had 100,000 attendees .
