Another outstanding element will be on Sunday 26, with the celebration of Family Day at the Fair. With this day we want to encourage intergenerational presence, since the programmed activities are aimed at all its members, and will include, among others, a hiking route for grandparents and grandchildren, which will end in Ifeba with a bacon roast on the 12:30 pm, as well as children’s performances, the Dekebais and Bichejos troupes, and the Mini-Folk murga, indicate from the fair institution.
The program is completed by the presence of a mobile environmental education classroom, gastronomic tastings, talks, participatory workshops, a dance floor with an orchestra, Latin dances, contests, exhibitions, performances or theater.
During his speech, Subirán stressed that the City Council takes “very much into account active aging policies that allow the elderly to remain dynamic and busy in old age.”
For this reason, the Fair for the Elderly of Extremadura maintains an important cultural, educational and recreational content, as well as being a meeting point for the elderly from Extremadura and Alentejo neighbors.
The opening hours will be uninterrupted; for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., on Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
