The National Gymnastics Festival, which starts this Friday, and which coincides with the first Baixa Street Fest of 2017, promises “a very strong weekend in the city of Faro».
Paulo Santos, vice president of the Chamber, in an interview with Sul Informação, said he believed that the National Gymnastics Festival “will move the city a lot. It is the main event of the Gymnastics Federation of Portugal and will bring even Faro 3900 athletes of all ages, especially young people».
In addition to these 3900 athletes, «many of them come accompanied by their parents, so we will have, not only Faro, but like the entire central area of the Algarve, completely depleted of accommodation. It is an event that can involve around 10 thousand people».
The National Gymnastics Festival will have as its nerve center the Penha Municipal Pavilion, where the main galas are held, but «there will also be events at Pontinha, another at Jardim Manuel Bívar and another at Forum Algarve, where gymnasts will pass. They will walk around, from stage to stage, performing”, explains Paulo Santos. can see the program here.
