The Culture Department of the Pinto City Council has organized a diverse range of activities to refresh the summer, under the slogan ‘Pinto de Verano’. The program includes theater, puppet shows, circus acts, magic, and music, all set to take place in the emblematic lake and riverbank area of Parque Juan Carlos I.
The Councilor for Culture, Víctor Alonso, highlighted that this initiative aims to offer residents high-quality open-air cultural programming, taking advantage of the park's idyllic setting. "It's also an opportunity to enjoy an idyllic location, like the Lake of Juan Carlos I Park, where most of the activities will be held," he stated.
“"Once again, for the late June and July evenings, we offer our residents the best open-air cultural programming with a new edition of ‘Pinto de Verano’. It's also an opportunity to enjoy an idyllic place, like the Lake of Juan Carlos I Park, where the bulk of the activities will take place. The best prelude to the August Patron Saint Festivals."
The program kicks off on June 28th with a concert by the Big Band de Pinto, performing jazz, swing, soul, and Latin music at 9:30 PM by the Ría del Lago. This will be followed on July 3rd, at the same time, by a concert from the Municipal Music Band with a varied repertoire.
