The festival will not only feature the bars but will also see participation from traditional Easter brotherhoods, the pilgrims of San Ginés de la Jara, and local community associations. This collective effort highlights the spirit of collaboration and community during the celebration.

The city council has described the event as an opportunity to fill Cartagena with vibrancy and joy, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the area. The festival promises to bring together locals and tourists in a lively celebration of tradition and community bonding.

With the streets set to pulsate with energy, the May Crosses Festival is expected to draw large crowds, offering a delightful mix of hospitality and cultural festivities throughout the weekend.
