It may have taken them 20-years but it was better later than never for brothers Nigel and Neil, as the owners of Munroe’s organised their 20th Anniversary Rock Fest on Saturday. This eleven hour festival attracted, as expected, the local fans of punk, Goth and heavy metal but families, friends and music lovers turned up too to see what all of the fuss was about. In the end, a well organised and trouble free day was had by one and all with calls to put on a 21st Anniversary festival already being requested.
And hot on the heals of Rock Fest, two more festivals have just been announced, both just across the border on the Oriheula Costa. The first of these is being promoted by ECO, Empresarios Costa de Orihuela, who have been granted approval from the Ayuntamiento de Orihuiela for the first ever Summer Festival to be held on the Orihuela-Costa. The event will take place on 4th and 5th Jul 2009. Further details are available by calling the ECO office on 96 673 0056.
On what many of us still think of as the August Bank Holiday weekend (29th & 30th), Party of the Park shall be back at Asturias, with a full range of fun activities, groups, artists and activities being planned as “the big summer event for all of the family”. For more information or to register your interest in being part of the event, please contact 636 120 144.
Just two of the many events that shall be added to the local calendar for residents and visitors to plan for, this summer.
