WORLD STARS SALSA FESTIVAL
Come And Live Your Legend!
World Stars Salsa Festival is a Bulgarian festival founded in Varna in 2012. Since then, it has become one of the world’s best and most prestigious salsa festivals, bringing together the biggest world stars of salsa, bachata and kizomba.
All-in-One Festival – Everything happens at one five-star hotel, from workshops and shows to parties by the outdoor pool. There’s no need to travel between venues—just enjoy four days immersed in dance.
Get ready for spectacular shows, live concerts, competitions, parties, workshops, masterclasses, bootcamps and plenty of surprises.
After 15 years in Bulgaria, World Stars Salsa Festival aims to bring Bulgaria’s name to a wider international audience and reach even more dancers. To take that next step, the festival comes to Istanbul in 2027 at Elite World Grand İstanbul Küçükyalı.
Be part of the experience—because this doesn’t happen every day!
