Neighborhoods and municipalities of Madrid in celebration: that is the image that leaves the month of June in different parts of the region. After San Isidro the trickle of festivities until reaching the great summer festivals is constant, and if this Wednesday began the festivities of Coslada others are on the verge of doing so. This is the case of the Moratalaz festivities, which will start this Friday, June 7 and will last until Sunday, June 16.
On behalf of the municipal board of the district there will be live music, magic, attractions, exhibitions and activities for all audiences at the fairgrounds in the park of the Cuña Verde. Its main stage will host the stellar performances of Henry Méndez (June 14 at 10:30 pm), Bombai (June 15 at 9:30 pm) and DJ Nano (June 15 at 10:30 pm).
To highlight some activities, on June 9 there will be a new edition of the traditional Moratalaz Speed Painting Contest -which celebrates its 25th anniversary- and Street Art, an exhibition in the Plaza del Arte from 11 am to 2 pm. On June 15, there will be a disc dogworkshop to test the participants’ understanding of the disc dog with their pets and on the 16th, as a finale, there will be a fireworks display at 11 pm.
