Quito is wrapping up August with two free events on Saturday, August 22. The first is a neighbourhood food fair called Manden a Las Casas, taking place in the north of the city at Parque Italia. Running from 11am to 8pm, this community initiative features food stalls and live DJs, providing a space for people to eat, share, and meet.
The second event is the seventh edition of Salsa en la Calle, a street salsa gathering in the historic centre of Quito. Held outside the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo in the San Juan barrio, this event runs from 10am to 10pm, offering an opportunity to enjoy the salsa dance scene. Both events are free and open to the public, with no need for tickets or registration.
While the food fair is a new edition, the salsa gathering is a well-established local tradition, showcasing the city's vibrant street culture. Located in different parts of Quito, the two events are roughly a twenty-minute drive apart, making it feasible to attend both in one day. Despite the heavy afternoon traffic in Quito on Saturdays, both events are expected to conclude by late evening.
