La Térmica invites you to a day of 'analog' leisure with family: verdiales, sack races, and a giant foosball table

The idea is to have fun like in the old days, outdoors, with traditional games and live music. Just like in the past in town squares and in those neighborhoods with always-open house doors and chairs on the doorstep. A traditional and analog type of leisure, without any screens involved, that will be experienced on June 7th at Ancá La Térmica. On that day, the cultural center of the Provincial Council invites families to its gardens, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, to participate in sack races, listen to live music ranging from jazz to verdiales, or even attend a fashion workshop. Entry is free, with invitations already available on La Térmica's website and at the door on the day of the event.

"We want people of all ages, from grandchildren to grandparents, to rediscover the most classic and analog fun," states Francisco Salado, the president of the Provincial Council. The activities, organized by companies from Málaga, will have monitors to make them more dynamic.

The Málaga-based company Ángeles de Trapo, a veteran in the world of puppetry, will set up more than 30 artisanal wooden games in the front gardens of La Térmica, featuring challenges in skill, construction, and ingenuity. Más Animación, for its part, will conduct sack races, tank tape races, the handkerchief game, and even obstacle courses with cones, hoops, tires, obstacle bars, elastic bands, and traffic signs. The company Trompecoco will take care of the giant games and inflatables. A field for bubble football and a giant foosball table about 20 meters long will be set up. There will also be a giant jenga, goose game, and connect four, each over one meter tall. Play in Colors will also set up its inflatable castle where children can jump and paint.

In terms of music, the day's soundtrack will range from jazz to verdiales. ELCAMM, the Center for Modern Arts and Music of Málaga, will offer at twelve noon 'A Journey into Jazz' with its Wind Symphony Orchestra. The voice and instruments will guide the audience through different soundscapes and eras of jazz. At 1:00 PM, from the West Park, the verdiales band Los Moras, in the Almogía style, will make their entrance at La Térmica. In the afternoon, at 5:00 PM, it will be the turn of the Arroyo Conca band, in the Comares style. Additionally, the Provincial Federation of Verdiales Pandas will conduct workshops on the verdiales festival to showcase the instruments, the different styles of playing, and delve into the roots and peculiarities of verdiales.

Lastly, Alex Hug will lead the workshop titled 'Exploring La Térmica through its textures', from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, an activity to discover textures and hidden details at first glance through customization, upcycling, and stamping. In collaboration with the Málaga de Moda brands Rocío Monserrat and Todo mal, gracias, children will learn to observe their surroundings in a different way, playing with materials, exploring creativity, and building their own T-shirt.
