Africa-Press – Cape verde. The two days of the festival in Santa Cruz ended with a positive assessment by the municipality, which highlights the civic attitude and “spectacular security”. The festival at Praia de Areia Grande ended today after 08:30.
“The balance we can make of this 29th edition of the Praia de Areia Grande music festival is positive, and we can talk about the behavior of the public, the performance of the artists, and, above all, in the field of safety, it was spectacular”, said the mayor Carlos Silva, to the press, who highlighted the fact that this was the first edition of the festival “without plastic and without garbage”.
In other words, he added, the realization of this festival “without plastic and without garbage” was due to the partnership with Associação Carreta Carreta, which proved to be “strong and dynamic” in working to keep the beach of Areia Grande “always clean”.
“I believe that everyone is feeling safe, and so far the balance is positive, and I believe that we are going to end this festival on a high note, which is one of the best in Cape Verde”, envisioned the mayor of Santa Cruz.
