Vancouver International Flamenco Festival

As one of the few celebrated festivals devoted to flamenco art outside of Spain, the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival nurtures flamenco’s hybridized roots in Sephardic, Persian, Gypsy and Indian cultures. Through world-class performances, workshops, and demonstrations the festival offer aficionados, novices, and families of all ages exciting opportunities to discover the vibrant and poetic art form, from its highly rhythmic dance and percussive palmas (hand clapping) to its fervid vocals and intricate guitar!
