The first three Thursdays in July feature performances by different groups of the Altea Philharmonic Society (Societat Filarmònica Alteanense or SFA), with July 6 dedicated to the Young Band of the SFA, July 13 dedicated to the Big Band Taller Ateneu La Vila (an innovative project of modern music) and July 20 seeing the first performance by a new group formed at Altea conservatory, Bandeta La Criança. Tickets are on sale in advance at www.alteacultural.com and one hour before each show at the Plaça with numbers limited to 200. Tickets cost €9 on the door and €6 online. Tickets for all the concerts from July 6 to 20 cost €15 on the door and €12 online, and for the performances from July 27 to August 31 they cost €35 or €28.

This summer the RBF will include three stages and a large VIP area, as well as the latest technology in sound and lighting. Strict access protocols have been implemented, as well as real­time capacity control, measures to avoid long queues and the most advanced technology to guarantee safety.

There will also be a range of complementary activities including a water park, large swimming pool, dance and self­defence classes, chill­out area, food trucks, beauty, make­up and hairdressing workshops, a market with stalls by local producers, and much more.

All activities and concerts take place during the daytime to make it a family­friendly event and to respect residents’ right to rest.
