The municipality of El Verger will host the third edition of the Safari Art festival on May 23, 24, 29, 30, and 31, consolidating its position as a cultural reference in the Marina Alta region.

This year's program grows significantly, spanning two weekends to fill the streets and public spaces of El Verger with urban art, live music, and participatory proposals for all ages. The event is supported by the Fundació Baleària, a partnership that has enabled the festival to attract artistic talent from both the Valencian territory and the Balearic Islands.
Key highlights include an artistic intervention on gates along Sant Lluís and Juan Ferrando streets. Furthermore, the festival maintains its social focus with intergenerational workshops on Calvari street and awareness activities organized by the Punt Jove, such as the film forum Els fils del tauler.
Music will be a cornerstone of the gathering, featuring performances by Connecta Percussió, a Musical Vermouth with local groups, and the Safari Art Music Fest, which will include bands such as Sant Gatxo and El Malecón. The program concludes on Sunday the 31st with family activities, notably the Joc de l'Oca Valenciana.

"The involvement of the Fundació Baleària represents a qualitative leap for the festival. We have been collaborating with them for many years through the 'Llotges de la Cultura', and this year, their support has been crucial in bringing so much artistic talent to our town."
