The end of the Gala will coincide with the welcome to the night of San Juan that will be celebrated with a pyro-musical show to the sound of "La Parranda".
The Festival will travel to the beach on Sunday, June 24, with an exhibition of the Serbian group and the local group "Coros y Danzas Mar Menor", from San Javier, which will take place at 12 noon on the Barnuevo esplanade in Santiago de la Ribera.
During all the days of the Festival you can visit in the Plaza de España the huertano ethnic area in which the typical way of life is reproduced in the garden of Murcia until the beginning of the last century.
The 30 years of the Festival coincide in this edition with the 50th Anniversary of the group of Mar Menor Choirs and Dances of San Javier, created in 1967 by the parish priest of that time, Antonio López, a native of Patiño.
The training has been kept active with special attention to the nursery schools to ensure its continuity over time.
This afternoon you will receive a tribute on the occasion of its 50th anniversary with the discovery of a commemorative sculpture on the Neptune avenue of San Javier.
