Virginia Beach Oceanfront

May 19, 2010
Virginia Beach, Virginia – For two days, Virginia Beach celebrates the sights and sounds of the Latin experience. Based on a popular Latin festival in Miami, the Virginia Beach version retains the key ingredients of good food, family participation, and first-rate Latin music.
National performers electrify the diverse audience with high-energy tunes that move the crowd to dance under the stars. Local and regional Latin acts (each with their own loyal fan base) take the stage and unite festival-goers with the rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, and Jazz.
Locos Por Juana, one of the hottest Latin alternative rock bands in the United States, takes the stage on Friday, June 11, from 9:30pm-11:00pm. This multinational Miami-based band combines infectious energy with Latin rhythms from the Caribbean and South America, as well as reggae, hip hop, and American funk. In December of 2008, Locos Por Juana was nominated for “Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album” for their album titled La Verdad.
Mala Fe’s “Con Su Loquera” hit the charts, peaking at number five on Billboard’s Latin/Salsa charts. Mala Fe takes the stage on Saturday, June 12, from 9:30pm-11:00pm.

Additional activities include the Zumba Fitness Marathon, a 3-hour Latin-inspired, easy-to-follow fitness routine led by Master Level Zumba Instructor Liana Veda. Door prizes and awards will be featured. The Zumba Fitness Marathon will be held from 8:30am-11:30am on Saturday, June 12. The 2010 Latin Fest Domino Competition, beginning at 1:30pm on Saturday, June 12, is open to players of all levels. Trophies will be awarded at the end of the day. Both the Zumba Fitness Marathon and the Domino Competition are free to the public. On-site registration is required, however.

The Hardee’s Latin Fest is a free event.
