VII Iboga Summer Festival

The Iboga Summer Festival is one of the most emblematic musical events of the Valencian Community.
On its three stages, several bands from different countries will make us dance with repertoires that go from reggae, to world music, from balkan to ska, to swing, etc.
Among the guest artists we point out Femi Kuti and the Positive Force (Friday 26th) with its explosive mix of Afro beat, soul, R&B and reggae and Orishas (Saturday 27th) that combines traditional Cuban music with hip-ho.
However, Iboga is also a cultural and recreational space. In fact, besides concerts, it offers us the possibility to do some meditation, learn dances, nose into handmade products, or learn about environmental sustainability.
Concerning sustainability, we point out the #IbogaChallenge initiative that, inspired by the philosophy of the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), promotes debate and exchange of practices on the reuse of everyday plastic objects. In addition, we can also visit the exhibition space with the best reuse and recycling inventions.
You can buy tickets for Saturday and Sunday (45 euros) or only for Sunday (8 euros), on the festival website.
