The Stuttgart Flamenco Festival was founded in 2010 by dancer and choreographer Catarina Mora. Since then, the festival has taken place once a year and has firmly established itself in the first week of the Baden-Württemberg summer vacation. In 2020, the festival was included in the City of Stuttgart's permanent project funding. Since 2024, the festival has been a gUG (non-profit organization) committed to the preservation of intangible world cultural heritage.

By positioning the festival in the vacation month, dancers from all federal states can participate. The festival brings performances by professional companies from Spain, the legendary “Gala Flamenca” and the evening of amateurs, the “flamenquitos©”, to the Theaterhaus stage. This will be followed by six days of workshops and smaller flamenco-themed events from Monday to Saturday at the Dance + Performance Production Center. Over a period of 9 days, flamenco is experienced, created and perceived in a tightly bundled way.
