After the amazing success of our first Albany Konpa Kizomba Weekender (Nov 7–10, 2025) and the incredible feedback from attendees, we are bringing the vibes BACK, even HIGHER and STRONGER.
People said the energy was magical, the connections were powerful, and Albany has never experienced anything like that weekend before.
So we’re doing it again — but on a bigger international festival level.
