Proceeds from Juerga Fest’s Cups Go to DANA Victims. 

This Saturday, November 16, the plaza at La Represa Park will be transformed into a stage for the second edition of Juerga Fest, weather permitting. A celebration of music, community, and now, heartfelt giving. All proceeds from the festival’s special “solidarity cups” will go to those affected by the devastating DANA floods, which wreaked havoc in the Valencia region just a fortnight ago.

Headliners lend a hand and a tune.

This year’s line-up, packed with top local talent, includes the likes of Javi Medina and the charismatic Luis Romero. Alongside them will be Juan Cid, Garrii, and Mónica Garrido, all ready to raise spirits and funds for a good cause.

Alejandro González, the Youth Councillor, gave the scoop on November 13, accompanied by Luis Romero himself. The big-hearted councillor revealed that the “Hermandad del Calvario” will be manning the bar, stocked with 1,200 special cups. Each cup, going for a euro above the usual drink price, will see all proceeds donated to the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), which will distribute funds to support DANA’s flood victims.

Weather watch: Venue shift possible

Now, the only cloud over the festival is… well, the weather. With rain in the forecast, González hinted that the location might shift if the skies turn moody on Saturday. “We’ll keep everyone in the loop if we have to make any last-minute changes,” he assured.

It’s not just about the music; Juerga Fest is all about community, unity, and raising a glass to those in need. So, whether you’re a die-hard “new flamenco” fan or just after a night out, head to La Represa, grab a solidarity cup, and join the party that’s pouring hope straight back into the community.
