Vancouver International Flamenco Festival presents Picnic Pavilion performances on September 3 and 4
VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL Flamenco Festival is setting the mood for its event with two days full of free performances by Vancouver and Victoria based troupes—in both dance and music—on Granville Island.
On September 3, this city’s own Mozaico Flamenco kicks off celebrations at the Picnic Pavilion at 1 pm. They’re followed by A J Simmons and company, Bonnie Stewart, Jhoely Triana, and Michelle Harding and Calle Verde over the course of the afternoon.
Mozaico is back at one the following day, with Kara Wiebe, Michelle Harding and Calle Verde, Linda Hayes, and Bonnie Stewart.
The second day, kids can join a free workshop from noon to 12:20 pm and adults from 12:20 pm to 12:50 pm, to try their hand—or should that be feet?—at the Andalusian art form.
Watch for the fest to continue throughout the month to September 25.
