Salsa Returns to Californo’s Saturday!

It has been a few years since we have had a Salsa Party at Californo’s but I want to revisit some of the old spots before I move! If you were around in 2007, you remember how nice Californo’s is for dancing since the entire place is hardwood floors! Life is short, don’t miss the party! I hope to see you all Saturday!
