Beyond the main-stage, a kid’s tent keeps the little ones entertained. Also, there’s the dance tent, where both the rhythmically adept and challenged converge. And for non-stop sets played by local artists, the Nuestro Latin tent assures a festive compilation of music genres: Afro-Colombian music, Classic Latin, Traditional Peruvian, Mariachi and more.
