Tucson Spanish and Flamenco Festival

Since 2005, Casa Vicente at 375 S. Stone Ave. has served up delicious Spanish cuisine along with top-notch Spanish music and dancing most weekend nights, not to mention various dancing lessons on the patio. Last year, the restaurant hosted its first flamenco festival and if the success of that venture was any indication, this year’s will be even better!

Combining forces with Club España, Marqués de Cáceres Wines and Flamenco del Pueblo Viejo, the festival opens Thursday, Sept. 16 with Spanish guitar concert Noche de Seis Cuerdas. Its showcase event, Noche Flamenca, takes place Sept. 17 & 18 with national and international flamenco professionals. The Sunday, Sept. 19 closing party, Fiesta Latina, promises to be a lively and energetic rumba and Latin music extravaganza! Other events include workshops and lectures on Spanish culinary arts, Spanish Cinema, flamenco dance, song, guitar, percussion, and history. Find out more at TucsonSpanishFlamencoFestival.com or 884-5253.

Currently 3.5/5 Stars.

Everyone should dance right over to this exciting Festival! There was a sneak peek at The Screening Room during 2nd Saturdays Downtown (Sept 11). It was truly amazing! The Dancers were incredible and the music was terrific. Everyone, including people that were not familiar with Flamenco before, LOVED the performance. Many new fans of Flamenco were born that night. I, for one, can't wait until the Festival starts.
