Turn HRPK’s Pier 76 into your own personal dance floor at Sunset Salsa! 

We’re extending our salsa season — join world-renowned dancer, instructor and producer Talía Castro-Pozo and her lineup of incredibly talented friends at our weekly dance parties. Celebrated as “The Woman of Salsa” by Latina Magazine, Talía is trained in everything from Ballroom to Jazz. Whether you’re a novice or an advanced dancer, the night starts with beginner Salsa lessons before transitioning to a sizzling party.

Every Thursday this season, dance the night away under the shimmering NYC lights and sensational HRPK skies — all while learning a new move or two! As always, follow our social channels for announcements of special guests, weather cancellations and more.

Our 25th Anniversary event season is presented by Hudson River Park Friends, the Park’s designated fundraising partner. HRPK Friends is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the completion, care and enhancement of the Park.

Hudson River Park is not part of NYC Parks, and we rely on private funds for our free programs, maintenance and operations. That means your donations are essential to ensuring our event season remains free for the public. Show your support today.
