How it started Feria de Abril 2006 in Singapore We love flamenco and La Feria de Abril, a festival that has been held annually in Seville, Spain for over 100 years. It was one of our dreams to have La Feria in Singapore. We had the first Feria de Abril "party" in 2006 at a home and around 80 friends came and loved it! Those who could not come due to the limited space complained. Therefore we decided to do it in a larger scale in 2007.
Feria de Abril 2007 in Singapore In 2007, we held La Feria at Chijmes. It became an enjoyable two-day festival to share and promote flamenco and Spanish Feria in Singapore. We tried to create the ambiance of La Feria including CASETAS (decorated marquee tents), music, drinks and food, everything we need to have fun. We also had flamenco dancing, singing and guitar performances by guest artists from Spain and local groups. There was also a photo exhibition by prominent Spanish and Argentinean photographers. Several hundred people came to participate, dance and watch the activities.

Feria de Abril 2008 in Singapore We had a lot of great feedback from the participants in Feria de Abril 2007 and, of course, we decided to do it again in 2008! As expected, the 2008 event was sold out with hundreds watching, dancing and having fun both inside and outside the performance and exhibition casetas. Please visit "What's New" page to see details! Photos of the 2008 Feria can be found on our home page, 2008 Photos page, Flamenco Land and En español pages.
Feria de Abril 2009 in Singapore The dates for the 2009 event have been set for 18 & 19 April, 2009. Updates for the event will be posted on the web site as our plans develop. We, as always, appreciate any help others may want to provide as well as your ideas and suggestions for making the event even more enjoyable for all.
