One more year — for a total of 21 — and Flamenco Festival is about to land in the United States of America. From March 7^th to April 5^th, the most traditional and the most avant-garde flamenco will travel through the American mainland from east to west and from south to north. Flamenco Festival NY has been performed in its New York headquarters since 1999, and from there it has been expanding to other cities. It has also been known as Flamenco Festival USA or, for some time already, as Flamenco Festival ON TOUR. Boston, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the lucky cities in 2020. This show has become established as one of the most important events showcasing Spanish culture in the United States.
