Rockarte Festival, take two!
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010The Rockarte Festival is coming to Playa del Carmen again! Come see one of the best culturally-fused events on the Riviera Maya on Friday and Saturday, July 30th and 31st starting at 5:00pm on the beach at Zenzi and Wicky's beach blubs, 10th Street and the beach. The event is free to the public.
Rockarte is a cultural event of diverse artistic disciplines, including music, dance, art and photography, fire performers, comedic mime expressionist and more, all in an effort to raise awareness, promote and support cultural activities in Mexico.
The Rockarte festival provides a stage for local artists to showcase their talents. The festival provides an opportunity to share many forms of artistic expression and generate a new, cultural fusion-of-the-arts in society. This year the line-up will consist of many local Playa del Carmen singers, bands and artists as well as a few travelling here from Mexico City and Guadalajara to participate.
The show is every year in Playa but founding member, Luis Santana (also lead singer of one of the bands on the line-up from Guadalajara, Red Lake Circus says "the aim is to take Rockarte on the road and tour more parts of Mexico in the coming years in support of local talent in other parts of the country."
The inaugural show that took place February 28, 2009 at the hip Zenzi beach club was a huge success attended by over 1,500 people. Zenzi will host this year's festival, along with their neighbor, Wicky's, as the show expands to two days and attendance expected to increase.
