Annual free summer outdoor events held in the certain New York City parks with a band featuring many kinds of music. Mostly classic salsa plus a little cha cha, bachata & merengue played by the band and a DJ. Dancing is probably done just casually anywhere, which means the surface could be cement, grass, wood, etc., so be prepared. If you want to be sure of dancing On 2, bring a partner or a group.

Frankie Morales began his professional singing career at the age of 14 singing backup for Joe Bataan. Since then he has sung backup for Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Rivera, Ismael Miranda, Celia Cruz, Pellin Rodriguez, Tito Nieve and Hector Lavoe. At the suggestion of Ralph Mercardo, he toured the world as the lead vocalit in Tito Puente's orchestra. He also performed in the groups Bad Street Boys, Lebron Borthers and the Fania All-Stars. Besides perorming with all these amazing artists, Morales has released his own albums. His 1998 album DanceMania 99 was nominated for a Grammy.

St. Mary's Park is located in the South Bronx, "The Hub", between St. Mary's Street and E. 149th Street, and between Jackson Avenue & St. Ann's.
