Feria de Cleveland is an annual celebration bringing the vibrant energy of Spain's spring fairs to Cleveland.

Flamenco is a cultural arts tradition that formed in southern Spain (Andalusia) in the 19th century from a mix of Spanish, Moorish, Sephardic Jewish, West & North African, and Latin American roots.

Rooted in community and cultural exchange, the Feria offers a joyful space to experience the rich traditions of Andalusia while connecting with Cleveland's diverse cultural landscape. There were regional dances of Andalusia (Sevilla, Huelva, Cádiz, y Graná) featuring Abrepaso Flamenco's Alice Blumenfeld and En Camino, their community performance group.
