April 25, 2026 7:00-10:00PM Feria de Sevilla Flamenco at Overbrook Garage Studio
A little about Feria de Sevilla and Sevillanas: The Feria de Sevilla begins two weeks after Holy Week in a large fairground in the Los Remedios neighborhood of Sevilla. It is a week of dancing, eating, drinking, and socializing, with late nights, and sometimes all-nighters, being the norm. The scale of the April Fair is extraordinary. From around midday until early evening, especially on Sunday, the first official day, Sevilla society parades through the fairgrounds in carriages or on horseback. Eating, drinking, and dancing then continue well into the night. The “Real de la Feria,” where the celebration takes place, covers a huge area of 24 blocks and includes the amusement park, Calle del Infierno (Hell Street), and the casetas, striped tents of different sizes arranged along 15 streets.
Our Feria will take place in Overbrook, West Philadelphia, in front of our PyA Garage studio. Wear your favorite flamenco costume, BYOB, and bring a dish to share, along with your family and friends. This is a free event, but please RSVP at: info@pasionyarteflamenco.
Saturday, April 25th, 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m
Location: The Overbrook Garage Studio
6411 Overbrook Ave,
Philadeiphia PA, 19151
The Dance:
Sevillanas are danced by couples of all ages and genders during celebrations (fiestas or ferias), often by whole families and towns. The choreography is very stable and widely known, making it an ideal festival dance. This is why those beginning flamenco often start by learning Sevillanas—they are easier to master and offer many opportunities for practice and participation.
The rhythm of Sevillanas can be interpreted as 3/4, though it is generally felt as 6/8. Each Sevillana is composed of four (and sometimes seven) parts, with each part divided into three coplas, and each copla made up of six movements.
Come experience the warmth and rhythm of this tradition in a relaxed, welcoming space. Whether you dance, watch, or simply soak in the energy, this juerga is for everyone.

Bowerbird is pleased to present Philadelphia favorites Alash at The Rotunda for two FREE concerts – 2pm and 7pm.
Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Masters of traditional Tuvan instruments as well as the art of throat singing, Alash are deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture. At the same time, they are fans of western music. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new, yet true to their Tuvan musical heritage.
Presented with The Rotunda.
