Come to SALSA SALSA, a harvest festival for the citizens of Los Angeles – come make and taste tomato salsas while listening and dancing to salsa music. SALSA SALSA is a celebration of public space and the culmination of the LOVE APPLES project in which 72 tomato plants were installed on 12 traffic islands in LA.

LOVE APPLES is an experiment in public space in the city of Los Angeles, imagining new ways in which such spaces could be utilized to make our communities more livable and engaged. It is a collaboration with Fallen Fruit that promotes community awareness, sharing, food safety, public resources, organic gardening and the use and exploration of available public space.

As part of the event there will be a free Salsa dance class from 3:30 – 4:30 taught by Miguel Candela. This will be followed by a free Salsa concert by recording artists Mestizo L.A.

PLEASE JOIN US from 3 to 7 p.m. on Sunday August 17th at Farmlab (1745 N. Spring Street, 90012) to make salsa and dance together. Meet new people and talk about the future shape and texture of life in this city. Bring your homegrown or street-picked tomatoes and collaborate with your neighbors on new and remarkable salsas. Bring a friend – this event is free to the public.

Cheers,
ISLANDS OF LA
