We’re so excited at the thought of celebrating together in El Salvador. Whether this will be your first visit or you already know and love it, we hope you’ll fall in love with this beautiful country the way we have.

We’re planning a full week of activities so you can soak it all in, meet our favorite people, and (most importantly) dance with us until the sun comes up.

Here’s everything you need to know.
