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 .
