Report of XXXVI Sea Sun Festival (July 2018, Spain)

From 8 to 13 July 2018 in the coastal town of Lloret de Mar, Spain once again thundered the creative salute at the international festival-contest “Sea Sun Festival“.

This prestigious event brought together talented people from Israel, South Africa, Iran, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, the United States and Azerbaijan and allowed each participant to taste the rich cultural heritage of Spain and engage with the culture of other participants. Through music, dance and singing, “Sea Sun Festival” was able to lay the foundation for friendship and peaceful unity.

The rich program of the festival took the participants into a whirlpool of unforgettable events. Bright sun, warm Mediterranean Sea, fascinating excursions to Montserrat, Barcelona and the Salvador Dalí Museum, the flamenco master class – inspiration came from everywhere!

Recharged from such a strong source of positive energy, each participant not only demonstrated their talents, but also opened their soul to a highly professional jury and local people.

In the end of the contest program, all participants marched through the city, and then performed in front of hundreds of viewers in the main city square. The bright gala concert ended with a common dance for the popular song of this summer Alvaro Soler “La Cintura” and the awards ceremony in a solemn atmosphere. The Grand Prix was given to the team from Israel “Sarith Kapon Dance Center”.

Fiestalonia wants to thank all participants of this festival for their talent, skills, perseverance and work. We hope to see your happy faces and radiant smiles again.

Participating countries:

Israel, South Africa, Iran, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, USA, Azerbaijan
