June 21 International Folklore Festival in San Javier
Groups from Cartagena, Murcia and San Javier will participate in the 35th edition of the Festival

The San Javier International Folklore Festival returns for its milestone 35th edition on Saturday June 21, transforming Plaza de España into a vibrant celebration of Murcian culture and tradition.
This year's gala promises something extra special – a heartfelt tribute to the Region of Murcia that will showcase the rich tapestry of local folklore.
The evening's headliner is Manuel Luna, an accomplished anthropologist, researcher and performer who brings both scholarly expertise and genuine passion to his craft. Accompanied by his dynamic band La Cuadrilla Maquilera, Luna will take audiences on a musical journey through Murcian folklore, a tradition he's spent years studying alongside the folk music of Castilla-La Mancha, Cantabria and Andalucía.
The festival brings together three remarkable groups, each dedicated to preserving the cultural treasures of their communities.
Coros y Danzas Mar Menor serves as the evening's host. Since 1967, this San Javier-based group has been the guardian of Murcian folklore along the shores of Mar Menor, keeping ancient traditions alive for new generations to discover and appreciate.

Folkloric Group ‘Ciudad de Cartagena’ from La Palma represents the Campo de Cartagena region with more than five decades of experience. For over 50 years, this dedicated ensemble has been carefully recovering and preserving the dances, customs and traditions that define Cartagena's cultural identity.
Ethnographic Association ‘La Hijuela’ from Patiño may be the newest addition, having started their important work in 2014, but their commitment to preserving huertano folklore from Murcia is no less passionate than their seasoned counterparts.
The festivities begin at 10pm in the Plaza de España, with veteran presenter Encarna Talavera guiding audiences through the evening's performances. Best of all, admission is completely free.
