Sydney, it’s time to shake what your mama gave you—Latin Nights by the Bay is back, and it’s bringing the heat!

Every Friday night, Palm Grove transforms into a vibrant outdoor dance floor where salsa, bachata, and mambo lovers unite for a fiesta under the stars.

The best part? It’s totally free—no sign-ups, no fees, just pure Latin vibes. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or have two left feet, you’ll be swept up in the energy of live music, Sydney’s top Latin DJs, and the city’s best dance schools leading complimentary lessons. Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere, then let Sydney’s top Latin dancers show you the ropes with a free beginner-friendly class before the real party kicks off. As the sun sets, DJs take over with sizzling Latin beats, and professional performers hit the floor to bring the heat. No sequins? No problem. Just bring yourself, a mate (or a date), and let the rhythm do the rest.

And for an extra spicy Valentine’s Day, this year’s most romantic night of the year falls on a Friday—so ditch the overbooked restaurants and overpriced roses and dance your way into someone’s heart instead. Plus, to mark the occasion, 100 lucky dancers will be gifted a rose—because nothing says romance like a night of passion-fueled footwork.

Whether you’re locking eyes with a stranger mid-spin or just here for the good tunes and a sneaky margarita, Darling Harbour is the place to be. Start with dinner, stay for the dancing, and leave with a whole new party trick. Find more info here.
