performances by salsa world champions Rafael and Janet.
Join in salsa dance classes and bring the kids along to

with what is expected to be the longest ever Carnival
Conga procession led by local children in costumes
designed by Mandinga Arts. Everyone is encouraged to
join in. Cuban cantinas will serve traditional Cuban
food including the classic Cuban dish, Pollo Criollo
(Creole Chicken, made with free-range chicken, fresh
orange juice, sherry and chillies), empanadas and
tamales, with vegetarian options including Garbanzos
Criollo - a Cuban chick pea and vegetable stew. 
Charity Carnival de Cuba has been established to raise
