The Festival will be held on Saturday 8 July 2023 and will draw on last year’s successful “Jubilita” festival both in terms of size and location. 

After a long COVID-19 break, this will be the first Calentita proper since 2019 and the 14th Calentita overall. 

GCS is working closely with Word of Mouth and Gibmedia in order to provide a very enjoyable event.
