ATLANTA, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lanza Group is excited to announce their partnership with the Atlanta Braves and Turner Field to present Salsa Fest. The newest event in the Lanza Group's yearly celebrations of Hispanic culture will include local salsa groups, DJs, bands, and dance demonstrations.

Salsa Fest is for all levels of interest, from the beginner to the experienced salsero. The stage area will feature local DJs and salsa bands playing throughout the afternoon. Salsa groups from around the Atlanta area will also be present, to give short lessons and exhibition dances to show off their talent.
