This weekend, Calp celebrates the Mig Any Fester organized by the Associació de Moros i Cristians Santíssim Crist de la Suor. An event that marks the halfway point of the Calpino celebration and that allows the dismissal of the festive charges of 2022 and welcomes the new captains, flag bearers and ensigns.
Today, Friday, the different filaes will have dinner in the cabilas to start at 23:30 p.m. the popular xaranga in the Plaza del Mosquit. Saturday will be the most important day of the festivities. In the Plaza Mayor, the most anticipated act will be held at 21:00 p.m.: the change, farewell and presentation of festive charges for 2022 and 2023.
This will be the moment in which Pepe Toni Ripoll Sau and Miriam Molina Morató, from the Filà Almorávides, and Ivan Plaza Sánchez and Alba Plaza Sánchez, from the Filà Templaris, will say goodbye as Moorish Captain and Favorite and Christian Captain and First Lady respectively, to give way to the Captains of 2023, José Pineda Fluixá and Marian Femenía Pastor, from the Filà Mascarats, and Ángel Moya Rodríguez and Cristina Andrés Magrañal, from the Filà Almogávares.
Another of the relevant positions is that of Standard Bearer of the Association of Moors and Christians, which this year will fall to Tania García García, from the Filà Tuareg, who will take over from Belén Sellés Perles, from Marins Corsaris. As for the Christian and Moorish second lieutenants, Daniel Iranzo de Almogávares and Joel Vázquez from Mascarats will pass the baton to Marcos Fernández de Bulder from Contrabandistas and Andreu Sellés Perles from Moriscos.
Sunday will begin with the traditional paella contest on Conde de Altea street. In the afternoon the children's parade of corporals and squads will be held and the celebration of traditional games may end the Mig Any Fester.
