This Christmas enjoy Christmas Afternoon and New Year's Eve with Majorals del Santíssim Crist 2024

Majorals Santíssim Crist del Bon Encert 2024 has already gotten to work. Christmas is just around the corner and, therefore, the calendar of activities begins to raise money for the next Major Festivals of l'Alfàs.

The Mayorales have organised two parties for these Christmas dates. The first appointment, on December 24, when Christmas Afternoon will take place. It will be at the municipal sports center, from 11 in the morning, with children's workshops, live music and a bar at popular prices.

The Councilor for Festivals and Traditions of the Alfàs City Council, Sandra Gómez , has explained that, in recent years, “ Good Afternoon has become a mandatory meeting point for alfasinos and alfasinas, as they can share the hours that precede to Christmas Eve dinner with friends and family, in a casual atmosphere close to home, and all thanks to the mayorals.”

For December 31, Majorals 2024 are designing a Great New Year's Eve Party, which will take place in the municipal tent, after welcoming the year in the Plaza Mayor with cava, grapes and party favors. Tickets have already gone on sale. If purchased in advance, they cost 10 euros, with a drink. At the box office, the ticket price will be 15 euros, also with a drink. This is what the president of the Festival Commission, Marcela Talero, has advanced.

Tickets for the Great New Year's Eve Party can be purchased now at El Cafenet de Laura, Séptimo Arte, Cafetería Royal, Kasbrane, El Raspalló, El Ventorrillo, Ca Pepi, Com a casa, Cafetería Albéniz, Peluquería Bonoso and through the Commission of Fiestas, whose Instagram profile is @majorals2024.lalfas.

From Majorals del Santíssim Crist del Bon Encert 2024 we want to encourage all citizens to participate in these two great festive events: Afternoon, on December 24 at the municipal sports center, and New Year's Eve, on December 31, in the Plaza Mayor and the municipal tent.

A dozen people join Majorals 2024, who come to office eager to work for the holidays and full of enthusiasm. They are Marcela Talero, Ana Arroyo, Marisa Frasés, Cristina Navarro, Daniel Gómez, Javier Resina, Mari Pérez, Dana Tenza, Andrea Prieto, Dolores Pastor and José Juan Jiménez.
