A Diverse Experience for a Good Cause
The Magical Nights Festival returns for its third edition, offering an afternoon and evening dedicated to solidarity on Saturday, March 26. The event supports five Alicante associations—APSA, APNEA, New Future Alicante, Friends of Ukraine Alicante, and the Lázaro Project—sharing in the generosity of attendees and participants alike.
Throughout the festival, each of the five groups will showcase the meaningful work they have carried out to assist different communities. In the evening, the official festival poster will be unveiled as part of the program, forecasting a vibrant lineup of music and performances. The program features concerts and performances that build on the success of Magical Nights Festival 2023.
In the first two editions, more than six thousand euros were distributed among the associations. Attendance reached three hundred participants in the first edition and six hundred in the second. For this third edition, held at Jardines de Abril, organizers expect an audience surpassing eight hundred people, reflecting growing community support and interest in the cause.
The event notes indicate that attendance figures from prior editions highlight a strong community impulse and ongoing commitment to charitable causes. The organizers acknowledge the role of volunteers and photographers who document the evening, contributing to the festival’s outreach and remembrance of the work done by the beneficiary organizations.
Access to the Solidarity Party is priced at ten euros, with an option labeled Line 0 for those who wish to contribute but cannot attend. The total amount raised through ticket sales and the raffle will be donated to the associations and their charitable projects this year, ensuring that fundraising directly supports community initiatives. The event plans to maximize impact through a combination of ticket revenue and community donations within a festive atmosphere.
The individual leading the Solidarity Party is Juan Francisco Corredera, a professional announcer with two decades of experience in the audiovisual industry. His voice is familiar to listeners on Radio Alicante Cadena SER and on various dubbing projects and documentary-reality programs, bringing energy and clarity to the evening’s proceedings.
