The Canyar de les Portelles Park in Mutxamel will transform on Saturday, October 3rd, into the venue for Matsuri 2026, a festival dedicated to Japanese culture and the geek world, open to all audiences.

For ten hours, from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, attendees can enjoy a day full of activities related to anime, manga, video games, and cosplay. The initiative, driven by Alicante Friky in collaboration with the Casa de la Joventut de Mutxamel, aims to offer a different and participatory experience for young people and families.

The program is designed for all ages, ensuring that both enthusiasts and newcomers can enjoy the various activities. This collaboration between the Casa de la Joventut and Alicante Friky reflects the importance of creating spaces for youth and cultural participation.
