The Vancouver International Flamenco Festival presents free performances at Granville Island’s Picnic Pavilion, on September 4 and 5 starting at 11 am.
FOLLOW THE SOUNDS of clicking castanets, clapping palmas, and rat-a-tat feet as the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival brings free performances to Granville Island’s Picnic Pavilion this weekend.
Starting September 4 and 5 at 11 am, it presents open-air shows by some of the best of both Vancouver- and Victoria-based flamenco companies.
From here, look for Mozaico Flamenco Ensemble, Jhoely Triana, Bonnie Stewart & Friends, and Jafelin Helten & Friends, with Peña Flamenca and Iminah Amal-Hill coming over from the island.
The performances should fire you up for the full ticketed festival shows that run Septemer 23 to 26. The hybrid online and live lineup features an all-Canadian roster of flamenco acts this year.
