Shopping night, music and fun parades in Estepona

LATE-NIGHT shopping and live entertainment promise a fun and lively visit to Estepona on June 4, with free activities, special offers and discounts, and plenty of guaranteed atmosphere.

The Noche en Blanco festival runs from 20.00 to 02.00 in the morning, when town-centre shops will be open and nationally-famous rock band Celtas Cortos will be performing al fresco on the Avenida San Lorenzo from 23.00.

If you have a shop in Estepona and want to join in, you should apply to the town hall before May 31 to register.

The local archaeological museum, the Casa de las Tejerinas, the Corominas Dolmen Centre, the local history museums, and the Orchid park and botanical garden will be open free of charge to visitors until midnight, starting from 20.00.

From 20.00 – when it is still daylight for at least another hour or so – a parade with clowns, unicyclists, jugglers, stilt-walkers and similar will fill the town, starting at the botanical gardens and covering the C/ Terraza and C/ Real.

A charity clown show in the Plaza Antonio Guerrero in aid of children's hospital clowns, an open-air concert with the local marching band playing soundtracks from comedy films, and a film showing in the botanical garden add extra atmosphere.

From 20.30 on the C/ Real, the first 100 children who turn up dressed as a comedy character will get a free gift.
