There will be three world renowned Salsa musical acts.

Rey Ruiz was born in Havana Cuba who's latest album is at the top of the charts. He will be the closer at SalsaFest. Ruiz defected from Cuba on one of his singing tours to the Dominican Republic. He then came to the U.S and started recorded his Salsa music. We are blessed to have Rey's talent among us. One of his albums earned him the title of "Salsa Singer of the Year". He has earned many awards and has a platinum album.

Lalo Rodriguez from Puerto Rico and Anthony Cruz from New Jersey are also going to be entertaining everyone with their talented Salsa music.

Ah, the delicious Sizzling Salsa Cooking is going to be yummy! The mayors of different towns around here are also going to be having a cook off. Even children chefs are going to get in on the act and have a young chef competition.

This year's event is made possible by the very generous support of Dr Jose Ortega from the Palms Wellington Surgical Center, the Center for Joint and Bone Surgery and Optimal Wellness. This is they way that events in the private sector work. We get together, donate time and money together out of our own free will and desire to help and promote cultural awareness and support.

Children get to get into SalsaFest for Free for seven and under. Adults are $10 per ticket or $30 for a family of four. A part of the proceeds will be donated to the City of Greenacres Department of Leisure services to help them keep their award winning youth programs. Their youth programs reach out to underprivileged children in the Greenacres Community.

Come on out and join in on the fun!

We have so much fun at Steeplechase because most all the Equestrian events here in Wellington Florida are Polo events and Hunter/Jumper and Dressage events.
