The June 2026 Festival will reach its final stretch with a program that brings together different artistic expressions and offers Guatemalans a range of activities for the whole family.
From the tribute Heroes of Symphonic Silence Until the II International Meeting of Traditional Music and Dance, the Miguel Ángel Asturias Cultural Center will be the scene of musical, theatrical and dance presentations.
During its last week, the festival will include free activities, such as the Exhibition of Engravings by Miguel Ángel Asturias, and other low-cost ones, such as Rhapsody in Blue: A musical journey from New York to Warsawwith the purpose of bringing art closer to citizens.
The activities will take place in the Efraín Recinos Great Hall, the Hugo Carrillo Chamber Theater and other spaces in the cultural complex.
One of the most notable presentations will be Heroes of Symphonic Silencewhich will reunite the Guatemalan band Ultimate with former members Alan Boguslavsky and Gonzalo Valdivia.
