Following the success of previous years, the Department of Citizen Participation has chosen to expand the program in this fifth edition with more cultural offerings, after 15,000 people took part in all the activities during the previous edition.
The activities will take place in 35 different venues across the city, spread throughout all the neighborhoods, including 30 shows, 15 workshops, five installations and four exhibitions, as well as 11 playful experiences. The program invites children and adults to play through experimentation and artistic creation.
THE SUPPORT OF THE CIVIC CENTERS
This is possible thanks to the support and organization of the 19 civic centers, which are responsible for organizing and coordinating activities in each district, reaching Valdefierro, Universidad, San José, Oliver, Miralbueno, Las Fuentes, La Jota, La Almozara, Delicias, Distrito Sur, Casablanca, Arrabal, Actur, Santa Isabel, Montañana and Garrapinillos, Casetas and La Cartuja.
In addition to the participation of the civic center network, the program also has the collaboration of some of the most prominent local children's entertainment promoters, such as Almonzandia Teatro, Slow Play, Centro Musical Bal de L'Arte and el Jardín de las Artes, as well as other municipal services including La Harinera, the Water and Environment Documentation Center, Casa de las Culturas, and the Museum of Fire and Firefighters.
These initiatives encourage street play and interaction with other children, also serving as a meeting point for educators, artists, professionals and families. The festival revolves around popular and traditional games, reusing materials to enable new forms of experimentation. Ultimately, it is an intergenerational festival where people can play, dream, laugh, create and imagine, reclaiming spaces and creating inclusive places such as play and socialization areas.
