In total there will be 16 areas in which the most varied cultural and leisure activities will take place.
The CEO of the Development Society, Alfonso Cabello, stressed that “Plenilunio once again turns Santa Cruz into a meeting point, and this is very important for the revitalization of commercial activity and economic recovery, in which we continue to take steps after the last positive numbers of the unemployment ”.
In addition, the mayor wanted to inform about the mobility and security of the event, of which he commented that “we have enabled a section on the web www.pleniluniosantacruz.com to inform about the different accesses to the spaces that have a perimeter closure and that will have a capacity limitation ”.
The Avenida Marítima area will be one of the busiest due to the type of activities that take place. The Chicharrock and Alisios Pop Festival festivals will be some of the great attractions of this Full Moon. Chicharrock will be present both days with a program that will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., while Alisios Pop Festival will run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., today and tomorrow.
