El Pego Scenic Arts Festival It is a current proposal to celebrate Carnival in the municipality. It consists of a long tour through the streets of the town where several stages are distributed with a musical and dance show in each of them.

When is

El Festival d'Arts Cèniques is celebrated on Carnival day. Each year the date varies, but it takes place on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday. That is, the weekend before the start of Lent. Although the festival in the municipality no longer has anything to do with the religious date, that day is still maintained as a way of fixing it on the calendar.

The Festival d'Arts Cèniques had its first edition in 2020 and due to the coronavirus pandemic, it could not be held in 2021. In 2022 the health situation on the official carnival day prevented its development, but it was finally held at the end of April. It 2024, the Pegolí Festival is celebrated on February 10.

Where is celebrated

The Festival d'Arts Cèniques is designed for the public to walk through the streets of Pego and find the different stages with a show on each one. He 2024 carnival itinerary is:

  • Plaça de l'Ajuntament
  • Ecce Homo Street
  • Capità Cendra Street
  • Sant Jaume street
  • Sant Agusti Street
  • Pla de la Font

Schedule

The festival starts at 19:00 a.m.. However, punctuality of attendees is not a requirement. The new Pegolí carnival is designed so that the various shows are repeated in several sessions throughout the hours until ending at 22:00 p.m..

How the Festival d'Arts Cèniques de Pego came about

The Festival d'Arts Cèniques is a relatively new show that Pego has begun to celebrate as a way to revitalize its legendary Carnestoltes. The celebration proposal began to take shape in 2019 and was implemented for the first time in 2020.

Atzaïla associació cultural de Pego turned to the ingenuity of local choreographer and dancer Marc Pons to develop the project proposal. Once everything was designed, the design of the festival was presented to the City Council with the aim of recovering the festive and participatory essence of the Pegolí Carnival.

Despite being a well-known celebration, the Carnestoltes had become devalued over the years until it was associated with a large nocturnal bottle party that gave a bad image to the municipality. The new proposal became the Festival d'Arts Cèniques that involves children and adults and offers a schedule for all types of audiences.

What is

To carry it out, various scenarios are installed throughout the municipality with different sets, but which revolve around the same central theme. At each location, large groups of professional and amateur dancers offer musical shows accompanied by dance. The first Festival had a circus theme, the second Hollywood one, in 2023 it was about going around the world and this 2024 about children's stories.

With this concept, Pego has managed to get closer to the origin of Carnestoltes, which was characterized by the great display of very elaborate costumes, masks and makeup.

Meet the history of the Carnival of Pego and how it was celebrated sus in the beginning.
