Culture took 1500 people to the streets in Lagoa

«Not giving up the offer of a diversified cultural program during this summer, unlike any other, was a clearly won bet»

The cultural program “A Cultura Sai à rua”, which took place from July to September, brought together, in total, more than 1500 people, spread over 10 stages in the municipality of Lagoa.. 

«For about a month and a half, 22 shows were held with the guarantee of respect for all the recommendations of the Directorate-General for Health», says the Chamber of Lagoa.

A total of 1509 spectators took part who, through the purchase of tickets, made it possible to offer €5268,35 to the Porches Social Support Centre, an IPSS that ensures social support for the local population.

Outdoor stages have reinvented themselves in various locations in this Algarve municipality. Different artists and cultural agents with roots in the territories of Lagoa and in the region have contributed to an integrating fusion of artistic styles and languages, from music to theater, from dance to magic.

For Luís Encarnação, mayor of Lagoa, «not giving up on the offer of a diversified cultural program during this summer, unlike any other, was a clearly won bet».

«The brand of Lagoa was reinforced as a territory of culture and heritage, important for those who live and work here, but also relevant for the economic recovery, as well as for the reinforcement of Lagoa as a privileged tourist destination», he concludes.
