Inclusive spaces and ice rink
The Inclusive Area will be held in the Plaza de la Junta Supremo, which will offer workshops, talks, games, giant chess and many activities aimed at all audiences, but especially aimed at serving all diversities. In addition, there will be a performance by the well-known rapper El Langui starting at 4:30 p.m.
The second family time slot will also begin at 11:00 a.m., but will extend until 11:00 p.m. This section brings new experiences such as ‘Christmas in the Cathedral’, which will include the installation of an ice rink; ‘The Jurassic Lagoon’, in Hermano Ramón Square; or the Super Hero Expo, an exhibition of superheroes for lovers of the Marvel and DC universes, which will be displayed in the House of Captains.
Night programming
The activities planned at night will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will last until 2:00 a.m. Like every edition, there will be no shortage of music, which this year will have three different areas:
