Two free afternoons of live flamenco guitar, singing and dance on an open-air pavilion at Granville Island, part of the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival.
Ocean Art Works, Granville Island
More infoFor one weekend the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival opens its Aficionado Stage at the Ocean Art Works pavilion on Granville Island, and unlike most of the festival's ticketed shows, this one is free and open to anyone walking by. Local and touring flamenco guitarists, singers and dancers rotate through short sets across the afternoon, close enough that you can watch the footwork and the hand claps up close. It is an easy add-on to a Granville Island wander: grab something from the Public Market first, then follow the guitar over to the pavilion.
Head to the Ocean Art Works pavilion on Granville Island where the Aficionado Stage runs free flamenco sets through the afternoon. Grab a snack from the Public Market beforehand and eat it on the grass while you listen. No ticket needed, just find a spot on the benches or the lawn.
