Let's Dance: The First edition of the Latin Food & Dance Festival Comes to Berlin!
For two days, Jules B-Part will transform into a meeting point for the flavors, rhythms, and traditions of Latin America. The Latin Food & Dance Festival will bring together authentic street food, vibrant music, and dance in all its forms, creating an atmosphere that goes far beyond that of a traditional food festival.
On Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26, visitors to Jules B-Part at Gleisdreieck (Luckenwalder Str. 6b, 10963 Berlin) will embark on a journey through the culinary and cultural diversity of an entire continent. From traditional specialties to the sounds and dance styles that have made Latin America famous around the world, the festival offers an immersive experience for all the senses.
Created with great respect and appreciation for the region’s many cultures, the Latin Food & Dance Festival celebrates the people, stories, and communities behind the food and dances, inviting Berlin to enjoy an unforgettable summer weekend full of flavor, rhythm, and joie de vivre.
The festival will take place on both days from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. In addition to culinary specialties from across Latin America, visitors can take part in a series of dance workshops organized by the renowned Schöneberg-based dance school La Mambita. And for anyone who still hasn't caught the rhythm by then, a lively Latin DJ set from 8:30 PM onwards will keep the energy high and the dance floor moving well into the evening.
Admission is €6, while children under 16 can enter free of charge. Tickets are already available and can be purchased via the following link.
Latin Food & Dance Festival 2026: A Culinary Journey Through Latin America
From crispy empanadas and fresh ceviche to churros and arepas, the Latin Food & Dance Festival brings the rich culinary diversity of Latin America to Berlin. Visitors can enjoy handmade Argentinian empanadas, flavorful choripanes, Venezuelan arepas with a variety of fillings, Peruvian ceviche, and creative plantain-based burgers.
Other must-try specialties include Brazilian Pão de Queijo cheese breads, Ecuadorian Llapingachos served with spicy sauce, grilled meat and chorizo skewers, and Venezuelan hot dogs topped with a selection of homemade sauces. Those with a sweet tooth can look forward to artisanal alfajores, freshly made churros, and tropical ice cream and slush creations featuring mango, passion fruit, blueberry, and cherry.
Particularly exciting are the creative reinterpretations of classic dishes. One Argentinian pizzaiolo, for example, will serve fried empanadas that combine elements of the traditional Argentinian empanada with the famous Neapolitan pizza fritta. The culinary offering is rounded off by tacos, quesadillas, nachos, Jollof specialties, and many other street food creations that reflect the cultural connections between Latin America, the Caribbean, and other parts of the world.
