When you think of summer in Fukuoka, the “Isla de Salsa” (Salsa Island) festival is a must!
But when we say “salsa,” we’re not talking about the dance or music! The name comes from “salsa,” the sauce made by mixing various ingredients.
This festival is a cultural exchange event where you can enjoy the connections and excitement born from that "mingling."
It’s a “salsa-like” space where artists and participants from around the world and diverse cultures come together.“Isla de Salsa” is a participatory festival where every guest becomes a “contributor—a unique spice.” You are not just a spectator, but a creator building the event alongside everyone else.
The venue is Nokonoshima, just a 10-minute ferry ride from Fukuoka City.
Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and step onto a resort-like beach surrounded by palm trees. Here, you’ll find multinational music, dance, delicious cuisine, art, and inspiring encounters with people and cultures from around the world.Surrender to the beats of the world, dance, and connect with others.
Let your heart feel different people and cultures blend together. “Isla de Salsa” is a one-of-a-kind music festival filled with free-spirited and creative experiences.
Why not add your own “spice” to this year’s Isla?
