The exhibition is divided into two spaces. One houses a sample of costumes, weapons and helmets from the Alicante, Alcoy, Elda, La Vila and Onil festivals. In addition, in this space, attendees will be able to enjoy a collection of promotional posters for the festivities and their evolution in the last decade.

The second space houses a photographic exhibition by the head of the photography sec ­ tion of Alicante News, Rafa Arjones. In the exhibition, different images of the Moors and Christians festivities will be displayed. In addition, in this same room a promotional video will be shown, with the most representative moments of the festivities of each town.

Entrance is free.

On Friday, July 28, the mayor and the councillor for culture, David Aracil, presented the details of a programme that preserves previous editions, but has now been expanded with several innovative acts. Among the main events is 'La noche en Vela' (the night of candles), the star act of the summer.

On Monday, August 14, starting at 9pm, this cultural and gastronomic evening will take place under the light of 20,000 candles. Through a tour with special lighting, which will bathe the entire historic centre in candle light, the public will be able to enjoy a multitude of activities, while enjoying local bars and restaurants.
