Feria
de Sevilla en Philadelphia
Saturday,
April 24 at 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Presented
by International House and Raíces Culturales Latinoamericanas
 Feria
de Sevilla, or Seville Fair, is the seasonal event that takes
place during the days following Holy Week. Festivities include
public dancing of the popular flamenco social dance Sevillanas,
food and drink sold in casetas or tents, live music
and professional flamenco presentations. We will recreate the
public square where all are invited to join Philadelphia's
flamenco dance students and flamenco guitarists and singers
in celebration of this cultural tradition.
Families
may come in Spanish dancers' style costumes, combs and mantillas
on their heads, vests, Cordobés hats and high-heeled boots to
participate in Sevillanas workshops (costume is not mandatory).
Afterwards all may join in the dancing and playing of music.
Participants will enjoy watching informative videos, shopping
for flamenco paraphernalia, Spanish crafts and eating authentic
Iberian Peninsula
food.
Professional
flamenco performances by Fiesta Flamenco Dancers, Pasión
y Arte, Flamenco del Encuentro and Flamenco
Olé. Simultaneous events will entertain all ages for
the entire evening!
