IV DJs CONTRA LA FAM
will take place at the
Mercado Fira de Bellcaire
(Encantes Viejos)
on Sunday October 12th, from 12h to 24h.
The FESTIVAL DJs CONTRA LA FAM is a
benefit electronic music and visual arts festival. Its
objective is to raise funds to contribute to the development
of social initiatives that address local hunger issues.
The donation is 100% of the net benefit collected from
ticket and bar sales. DJSCF is aware,
after four years of working with entities in the social
sector, that the festival serves as a platform for the
recognition, increased knowledge, and diffusion about
the beneficiaries’ work. This goes beyond the
direct economic contribution as it also permits people
to know not only about the centers’ realities,
but also about the life situations of those to whom
they provide services.
For this fourth year, we are moving to one of
Europe’s oldest markets, the Mercat Fira de Bellcaire,
better known as los Encantes Viejos.
Since the XIV century, this market has proven to be
an example of Barcelona’s commercial dynamism.
With more than 500 professionals and retailers working
year after year, day after day, covering more than 15.000m2,
hosting over 100.000 consumers each week, and home to
the sales of all types of products: old and new, artisan
goods to high-tech electronic goods, it is quite a spectacular
place. People who come to the market represent all types
including some of the city’s hippest. There is
also a sector of traveling salesmen who live in a situation
of true marginality and social exclusion and whose only
means of economic sustainability is made from working
during the business hours of this market.
We will have 2 stages (Main and Club), the Hamaka
zone, the Organizations Fair
with the SHOWCASE PACAS and the collaboration of the
collective Vaqueros
de Barcelona: the city’s best street artists.
12.00H to 16.00H. Free.
Feria de Entidades (c/dos de mayo) and SHOWCASE PACAS.
There will be 20 stands of non-profit organizations
all of which work in the social-cultural sector and
in the fight against hunger that have been or will be
beneficiaries of the P.A.C.A.S project and the Festival.
We will also have a “special program” in
the CLUB stage during the early afternoon, where those
who have participated in P.A.C.A.S
workshops (DJ, sound production, videoart, etc. etc.)
can show us what they have learned.
SHOWCASE PACAS originates from the
desire to have an annual event to show the work of P.A.C.A.S
and to give voice to the collectives that each entity
works with. It is free as we are providing the opportunity
for organizations to show their work and therefore are
offering a chance for people to learn more about the
reality of Barcelona.
16:00H to 24:00H. 10€
The Main Stage will be where DJs and
bands will play.
The Club Stage with its more intimate
touch is where we can enjoy some of the best DJs.
The Relax Zone (the palm tree zone)
is where our friends from the ecological collective
Hamaka will prepare a space for relaxation and enjoyment
of this Sunday of musical solidarity.
Vaqueros de Barcelona the city’s
best street artists join us to give the festival’s
aesthetic touch.
For all this, we will mobilize a minimum of
5000 people from the public and approximately 300 volunteers.
Clubs, public and private companies, musicians, streets
artists, visual artists, associations, mass media will
all be present. The 12th of October will be a great
encounter of culture and social action and the fight
against HUNGER.
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU THERE! |
