San Pedro continues to host fun cultural events for its residents and visitors in May. There are community projects for younger locals, charity events to raise money for worthwhile causes and a festival of colour and music for the whole family to enjoy.
Make sure you check out the following and put the important dates in your diary!
This is the second year that San Pedro will host the ‘manga and alternative’ cultural event for young residents in the region. Organised in association with Fusion Freak, this lively one-day digital fair will host over 120 individual activities, and will feature special guest appearances by industry favourites Satsuki and Luna de Jade.
In 2019 the programme will focus on video games, and organisers have arranged for a larger number of places to be available in the free play zone. In addition, attendees can enjoy three different virtual reality kiosks that will provide gaming entertainment featuring driving sports, HTC Vive glasses and Oculus Go.
Date: 4 May 2019
Time: 11:00hrs to 21:00hrs
Ticket price: 2 euros (2 for 1 offers are available)
