The municipality of Pinto is gearing up for its traditional Prado Festivities, which will kick off on April 30 with the customary mass at the Ermita del Prado. The musical offerings will be a major highlight, featuring performances by Los Inhumanos, Los Calis, and Generación OT, with the participation of Verónica Romero, Mercedes Durán, and Guillermo Martín. Additionally, there will be sets by local DJs, performances by Aires Andaluces, and pop-rock tributes from the 60s and 70s by Marmaol, as well as dance exhibitions from the city's dance schools.
Gastronomy will also play a leading role with the MonsterChef competition on May 1, a culinary contest involving 30 teams. This event, which gains popularity each year, will be enlivened with music and complemented by a large popular paella scheduled for Sunday, May 3.
“"Festivities to enjoy with family, with friends. Traditional festivities, for the residents of Pinto and any Madrilenian who stays in the Community this long weekend and wants to enjoy great popular concerts, DJs, and the best gastronomy."
Fun for children and teenagers will be guaranteed with children's games, face painting, a tortilla contest organized by the Brotherhood, inflatables, and a Foam Party, culminating in a fireworks display. The organization of these festivities is handled by the Pinto City Council, through the Department of Culture, led by Víctor Alonso, and has the collaboration of the Brotherhood of Jesús Nazareno and San José Obrero.
“"Prado Festivities that we have organized thinking of all age groups, varied and with the aim of having a great time, always responsibly."
To ensure the safety of all attendees, a special security deployment will be in place, including personnel from the Local Police, PIMER, and the Civil Guard, in addition to assistance from Aserpinto and the municipal cleaning and collection service. A quiet hour will be established daily, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and reserved parking for people with reduced mobility will be available on Travesía de San Joaquín.
