For the 23rd time the city of Murcia is hosting the Festival of the Three Cultures, or in Spanish Fiesta de Tres Culturas from Friday 2th to Saturday 27th May 2023.  The programme is a great mix of music, dance, concerts, cinema, exhibitions and art from all over the world. The aim of the celebration is to create peace and harmony between people of different creed and culture and to send out a message a solidarity, respect and tolerance.

 

All of the performances are free to go and watch, it is just a question of turning up early enough to get seats! I have listed the concerts along with their dates, times and locations. For the complete programme and more information about each group, take a look at the official wesite.
