The squares and fountains of Tres Cantos will transform on Saturday, June 27, into open-air cultural stages under the name 'Paseo por las Fuentes'.

The initiative proposes a tour through the municipality's public spaces, making fountains the central axis of a summer afternoon-evening marked by art, music, and light.
The event is structured into two routes: 'Fuentes de Luz' (Fountains of Light), which will pass through Puerta de Madrid, Plaza de la Solidaridad, Plaza del Arco Iris, and Plaza de Colmenar Viejo; and 'Fuentes con Actividades' (Fountains with Activities), connecting Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Plaza Central, Plaza del Cartero Rural, Plaza de Antonio Gala, Plaza de los Campeones del Mundo de Fútbol 2010, and Metropolitan Park.
The evening will begin at 8:00 PM at the Metropolitan Park's fountain-beach with circus and family activities until 10:00 PM. Half an hour later, the Plaza del Cartero Rural will host a circus performance synchronized with water, light, and fire.
At 9:00 PM, Plaza de Antonio Gala will celebrate the 270th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birth with small concerts and five free pianos for public participation. Later, at the Plaza de los Campeones del Mundo de Fútbol 2010, a choreography from Manuel de Falla's 'El Amor Brujo' will be performed, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of his birth, along with choral music.
From 10:00 PM, the fountains in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Plaza Central will host the ephemeral light installation 'Seres de Luz' (Beings of Light), transforming the public space into an open-air nocturnal gallery.
