Held over a period of two weeks from the middle of February, every street corner and plaza resounds with the sound of guitar and singing. Impromptu displays of flamenco erupt in a vivid display of colour. There is a unique atmosphere in the town.
Concerts of classical Spanish music, ballet and, of course, flamenco are held in the Teatro Villamarta, the Museo de Atalaya and various bodegas and locations throughout the two weeks.
In 2024, Festival de Jerez is scheduled to take place from 23rd February to 9th March 2024.
The festival programme includes a variety of events and activities, taking place all day.
