Flamenco Arts Festival Tickets

The Flamenco Arts Festival (FAF) brings the passionate worlds of cante (singing), toque (guitar), and baile (dance) to audiences with a mission to make flamenco accessible to communities through performance and education. Founded in 1999 by Vibiana and Alberto Pizano, the inaugural festival took the stage at the Lobero Theatre in 2000, marking the start of a dynamic tradition that blends artistic excellence with community engagement. FAF operates with a steady goal: present powerful flamenco experiences while offering approachable programming for all ages and backgrounds.

In 2025, FAF announced a creative pause, with a planned return in 2026. During this intermission, the organization continues to cultivate its artist network, educational outreach, and mission partnerships, including Arcángel as a Mission Ambassador on FAF's board. The annual Gala has featured standout artists, such as Mercedes de Córdoba during the 2024 Lobero Theatre gala, reinforcing FAF’s role in the Santa Barbara area’s flamenco landscape.
