free
Every Sunday (unless it rains) Original Boardwalk Salsa in Oakland at the Brooklyn Basin.
Sundays from 1 – 4 PM
Location: 288 9th Avenue, Oakland, CA 94606.
Sundays:
We start at 12:00 noon, and we end at 4:00 p.m. Sharp.
It has gotten really cold, and it’s getting dark by 5:00 p.m. and we want the DJ to be able to pick up all his equipment during daylight hours, and we want everyone walking safely to their cars during daylight hours.
New rules:
Because of the weather being so warm, we are going to start the dancing at 2 pm. We may even change it again, to a later time, if needed. Please stay tuned.
We have also put a map, where there is paid parking, and if you go to the left of this map, there is plenty of free street parking. It is about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the boardwalk.
We have also been told that there is a Brooklyn Basin Free shuttle, that brings you from Jack London Square! We will look into that and get a schedule up for you, if you are interested in that mode of transportation.
Lots of people are also, carpooling, Uber/Lyft, biking, roller skating, using electric scooters, Barting from the Lake Merritt BART station, that also offers, $3 all-day parking!

New parking rules!
As our neighborhood evolves, Brooklyn Basin will continue to accommodate public parking on weekends by opening approximately 175 spaces in our paid and gated lot where we have added new pedestrian paths for access. You’ll find the new lot on Embarcadero at 7th Avenue. The lot is opening this weekend, May 21-22.

I wouldn’t call it salsa, more than half the time it’s bachata or merenge, and the DJ’s seem to know alot more about bachata music than salsa music ……same salsa songs over and over again.

This is a fun event that brings people from diverse backgrounds together!
This is the best free outdoor dance party around! The DJs rotate weekly and there’s always a variety of great salsa.
