The Flores Flamencas Festival is back!
On May 16, families from all over Maryland, D.C. and Virginia will enjoy a fourth edition of Flores Flamencas on the lush, green grounds of Cabin John Park in Montgomery County. Taking inspiration from Andalusian festivals that celebrate the energizing colors of springtime blooms, Flores Flamencas will run from 11 AM to 8 PM and feature the following:
•Two stages with live performances of flamenco music and dance featuring esteemed local and visiting artists including: Anneta Hertwig, Mariana Gatto, Alma Dance, Natalia Monteleon, Furia Flamenca, Magdalena, Edwin Aparicio, Trio Caliente and Coro Torcuart, directed by Israel Lozano and DJ Horacio in “Tardeo La caseta”
• Delicious tapas and paella dishes along with refreshing sangría and Spanish beer.
• Sevillanas for all! Dance lessons and a Sevillanas DJ at a grounds shelter for spontaneous participation in one of Spain’s beloved traditional folk dances.
• Festival crafts for kids, including face painting, traditional paper-flower making in bold, bright colors.
With support from The Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County and Montgomery Parks, this year’s Flores Flamencas is expected to exceed last year’s attendance of 1500.
This festive event is free, with food and beverage tickets available for purchase.
