I am all up for it Helen, but that's the day I leave! Have fun, whoever goes, there are a lot of great artists performing!

Does anyone know when the TLN Carnival at Ontario Place is this year?

I can't make it this time

Can't believe I'm missing Latin Fest again, this is like the third time.

The only thing I can find going on in Ontario Place is

Latin/Salsa Thursdays at the Ontario Place Island Club
Latin and Salsa dancing take place every thursday at the Island Club for a ten-week featured event.

Make sure to go on the Mine Buster (the last seat) for me. Best wooden rollercoaster.

Helen,

I'll be there and my friend as well. We are waiting for a couple of other friends to confirm. Let me know where's the meeting place.

Helen & Debs,

I'll see you there. Also, I phoned TLN about the time and the local bands starts to play around 4:30 pm and the other groups at 7 pm. There are other activities from morning and throughout the day.

The Latin Fest was great, the performers were amazing and the place rocking. Helen or Debs did you get the name of the Bachata singer from Dominican Republic, his first name I think was Julio. Could not locate it on the TLNTV.

Sorry, I didn't catch his name either. But was he ever good

Did you guys stay right until the end? Was there anyone else performing after Huey?

I had a really great time and can't wait until next year's event!

Debs,

We stayed till the end and Huey was the last performer. It poured and we got caught in it on our way back to the car, well worth it.

There's another Latin Fest coming up in Toronto, I have the info at home, I'll send you the info tomorrow. It's not TLN Carnival, thery are not having one this year. It's next weekend the long weekend, I believe at the beaches area, Queen and Coxwell.

Sunday we'll be getting together to go to Las Brisas on Sunday, we'll keep in touch and post a thread about these two upcoming events. Nice to see you, Helen and Anne again at the Latin Fest.
