The Moors and Christians begin the procedures to be a Festival of Tourist Interest
Last night the FEMMICC, in the House of Culture, presented what will be the program of the Mig Any festival of Moors and Christians, as well as the poster that will announce them. The presentation was made by the president of the federation, Jaime Ferrer, accompanied by the charges of the Moorish and Christian captains of this year.
The programming this year will start on February 15, with the assembly and exhibition of the 39th edition of the children's drawing contest, with which they take advantage, with a video that they have taught to the different educational centers of the city, to explain to the most young people what the party consists of and involve them in its development.
It will last until Saturday 29, being that the strong day of Mig Any with the official festera midday at noon, to which this edition is added an informal closing retreat, already in the afternoon, in which they expect the ranks to invite participate to people outside the party and transmit it in this way to get involved. "We are sure it will work well"said Ferrer.
The poster that will accompany this party was announced by surprise, being designed by the artist Óscar Llamas. It represents the surrender of the Moor side in front of a Knight Templar in what appears to be the northern breakwater, where the landing is represented.
Way to be Festival of Autonomic Tourist Interest
Another big surprise of the night was the announcement of the beginning of the procedures to get the hallmark of the Festival of Regional Tourist Interest. This was announced by Miguel Ángel Fullana, who during the proclamation last August offered to the City Council to help achieve this goal, being "the best possible gift" for the 40th anniversary celebrated in 2020.
For this they have received the support of the session and of UNDEF. Although to achieve this, they must demonstrate the distinctive ranks of the party. The main banner for the proposal will be his work with future generations, where the Dianense party certainly stands out, with a children's parade with more than 500 children, and contests such as the aforementioned drawing among the little ones. Similarly, the landing considers it an important differentiating point.
The Councilor for Fiestas, Óscar Mengual, confirmed the full support of the City Council to help in every possible way to achieve that goal, in which they already work by compiling Tourism reports and the municipal archive. However, Mengual points out that the FEMMICC must lead the proposal and which the session will help with everything required.
