The government of Castilla-La Mancha is keen to ensure the continuation of the cuenca autumn festival, emphasising street culture, young talent, and local artists. This initiative aims to encourage residents to engage with and enjoy their city.
Marian López, the regional delegate, made these remarks during the presentation of the proceeds from a charity market held as part of the festival, alongside representatives from Hackeo Producciones, the local company that organised the event.
López praised the success of the festival's recent edition, which spanned five weekends and featured over 60 activities, including music, theatre, workshops, markets, literary routes, and performances suitable for all audiences. Notable highlights included the Night of Candles, the Corretapas event, a performance by Cristina Medina, and a videomapping display on the Cathedral, as well as various activities and competitions that directly involved local citizens.
She remarked, “The autumn festival has something particularly beautiful: it brings us out into the streets, allows us to meet, and lets us enjoy culture and our city together.”
In this context, López expressed the regional government's commitment, as the festival's main sponsor, to continue supporting this initiative, which also receives backing from the city council, the provincial council, and local businesses.
The charity market's proceeds added a final touch to this year's festival. Hackeo Producciones donated 5% of the total raised to the Brosjaca charity challenge, benefiting the Spanish Association Against Cancer, amounting to €518.45. López acknowledged this gesture, stating, “Beyond the amount, what matters is that the festival also serves to support causes that are important to us all.”
