The most relevant artistic meeting of the season will fill the Miguel Ángel Asturias Cultural Center, headquarters of the XXI edition of the June Festival, with cultural expressions. Between dance, theater and music shows, the month will advance with an agenda marked by presentations by national and foreign artists.
The festival will run from June 2 to 28 and will present more than 60 cultural and artistic activities aimed at lovers of the performing arts.
Presentations like Swan Lakeplays like 75 stab woundsconcerts like the Tribute to The Carpenters and genre film screenings will take place in different spaces of the venue.
The organizers highlight that the June Festival continues to strengthen its commitment to the promotion of art and culture. Therefore, the agenda of the XXI edition seeks to attract audiences of all ages.
