"Fiesta del Fuego" Cuban Dance Social

Get ready to turn up the heat at Kroger-on-the-Rhine! We're bringing the soul of Santiago de Cuba’s legendary Fiesta del Fuego to our dance floor — a vibrant celebration of Caribbean identity, rhythm, and resilience.

Also known as the Festival del Caribe, this fiery cultural festival has been lighting up Cuba every July since 1981, uniting artists, dancers, musicians, and healers from across the Afro-Caribbean world. It’s a tribute to ancestral roots, sacred rhythms, and the spirit of community — and now, we’re channeling that same energy into one unforgettable dance social.

Cincinnati's hottest new DJ, TimburÓn will bring the Carribean sabor with Timba, Son, Chachachá, Rumba, Cubaton. Expect to have line dances and ruedas to keep the energy flowing. Guests are encouraged to wear fire-like colors to celebrate the festival.

Whether you’re new to the dance floor or you’ve got fuego in your steps, come celebrate with us in true Cuban style.

Dress bold. Dance wild. Ignite your spirit.
Let’s celebrate the roots and rhythms that move us — ¡al estilo cubano!
