Oak City Salsa Social at Gipson Play Plaza is a free community dance event celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with live Latin music and social dancing in the park. This event is held at the newly opened Gipson Play Plaza at Dix Park, which means your kids can burn off energy on the play structures while you listen to the band. The event is entirely free to attend, and you do not need prior dance experience to join in. Parking is available in the lots near the play plaza, but spaces fill quickly, so arriving early is highly recommended. Pack water bottles, lawn chairs, and snacks, as food options on-site may be limited. It is a great mid-week break that gets everyone outdoors. The combination of a top-tier playground and live music keeps both toddlers and teenagers entertained without breaking your budget.
