Celebrate the coming of Spring Spanish-style with dancing, food, fashion, and music. Cleveland’s first Feria de Abril!

Part social event, part performance, part fashion event, and part celebration the feria is a space to gather and enjoy music and dance with the community. It’s a little bit like a salsa social combined with a county fair.

Anyone can join in the fun - no need to know flamenco! We’ll offer a short Sevillanas and rumbas lesson so you’ll have some dance moves to use. Students from ABREPASO flamenco, and Julia de Burgos will be performing, along with special guest guitarist and singer José Moreno and dancing by Alice Blumenfeld.

In Spain, the feria is a week-long celebration where people from all over the region gather in casetas (make-shift living rooms) on the fairgrounds. Food, drink, dancing, music, and an overall jovial atmosphere make it a joyous celebration of friendship, family, and community.
