The Chicago International Salsa Congress is a way to be immersed in Latin music and dance for three days straight, with concerts by salsa musicians and vocalists, dance productions, rhythm and percussion workshops, lessons for beginner and advanced dancers and open dancing. For a complete schedule go to chicagosalsacongress.com. Each night of the festival goes until 3 a.m., so those dancing shoes had better also be comfortable. Friday-Sunday at Westin O’Hare, 6100 W. River Road, Rosemont; admission costs vary
