A week-long folk festival held annually in early July, hosted in and around Cartagena’s La Palma district. It features daily concerts of traditional music and dance, folklore workshops, cultural talks, and exhibitions celebrating local and national traditions. Organized by the Grupo Folclórico Ciudad de Cartagena with city support, the festival culminates in a grand gala where regional folk groups perform in traditional costumes 1. It is one of Cartagena’s oldest folk events.
The event underscores the importance the Cartagena community places on heritage, knowledge of customs and community cohesion. It is largely attended by local families and folk enthusiasts who value the educational workshops and performances that keep Murcia’s folk legacy alive.
