Originally the opening event of the annual Oak Cliff Flamenco Festival held in October, Paella y Pasion, was moved to spring as a stand-alone event to serve the South Dallas community, creating momentum for the fall festival. This year is special as Flamenco Fever is opening its own brick and mortar location!!! La Cantera Arts Conservatory will be a home for all things flamenco and the community.
Paella y Pasion is a FREE community event offering a culinary adventure and cultural experience. A public stage is created at TYPO Park for local performers of flamenco, Flamenco Fever students, and other styles of dance.
“This FREE family-friendly, outdoor event provides local flamenco dancers, singers, and guitarists a relaxed atmosphere to perform and learn from more experienced artists that come in for the event” said Julia Alcántara, founder of Nonprofit Flamenco Fever that produces the event. “Our passion is building a sustainable flamenco community in Dallas by creating a welcoming atmosphere for flamenco curious citizens to get involved and local musicians to collaborate.”
Paella is a classic Spanish rice dish made with rice, saffron, vegetables, chicken, and seafood cooked and served in one pan. Tickets for 1 bowl of paella and 1 drink will be available for $20 and come paired with a Spanish inspired souvenir: a fan, silk flower and polka dot scarf, to help create a festive mood for attendees. Sangria, beer, water and soft drinks will also be sold. Audience members are encouraged to don festive attire and bring lawn chairs.
