The Councilor has been convinced that "this increase in public lies in the response that neighbors and visitors have given to one of the most varied and diverse schedules that are remembered. A carefully maintained leisure offer, designed with a double objective: to approach all audiences, ages and budgets, and most importantly, adapt it to what is expected of a city like Lorca, concerts in the esplanade of Jardines de Lorca, the programming of the Huerto de la Rueda and good live music in the different places in the city also extending the hour of the day fair, together with a program of activities carried out in addition to the direct participation of groups involved, has resulted in this influx success, as I say, unprecedented " .
Ponce Díaz stressed that, "another key to the increase in attendees has been the extension of one more hour, from 1 to 9 at night, of the 'Day Fair' on weekends, as well as live music in the squares of San Vicente, Calderón, Spain, Lorca-Plaza and Convent accompanied by the best cuisine on earth ".
As for one of the great novelties of this edition, the first day without noise so that those girls and boys who suffer from some type of hypersensitivity or autism spectrum disorder can also enjoy the fair, the Edil has announced that "the enormous success of this initiative, not only for those children affected, it already makes us consider even the possibility of establishing several hours without noise every day of the fair next year ".
José Ángel Ponce also highlighted "the Enganches Encounter or the Classic Vehicles Meeting since they have attracted a lot of people not only from Lorca but also participants and fans from all points of the Region and neighboring provinces and, of course, the I LGTBIQ Meeting that filled Lorca-Plaza with color and equality. "
The Councilor of Celebrations has wanted to "highlight the enormous effort deployed by the special security device made up of Local Police, National Police, Emergencies, Civil Protection volunteers, Firefighters, private security personnel, Red Cross and Ambulances of Lorca, in addition to the and the volunteers of the violet points, because they have allowed us to enjoy 10 days of fun with the peace of mind of not having noted incidents. We are facing one of the most participative fairs in history, and also the quietest and safest, and all thanks to the members of this device, who have left their skin to make it possible. "
He also thanked the work of the "electric service, maintenance staff, Aguas de Lorca, and also the workers and managers of the Limusa municipal company, for the important deployment, and of course, also highlight the degree of citizenship of citizens , for the good behavior demonstrated, guaranteeing the good coexistence during the celebration of the holidays ".
Ponce said that "we are very happy for the results of participation obtained and reaching our ears from the first moment the joy of our citizens. And, in short, it has been an organized fair taking into account the most important: our neighbors and, also, to our hoteliers whose quality in the gastronomic offer has done, as they advanced a few days ago, sales will be multiplied by four during the 'Day Fair'. Because, in Lorca, there is room for enjoyment and respect. the only thing that needs to be done is to show interest and work for the United and attending to people's requests. "

During the next few days we will hold meetings with the groups involved to analyze in detail everything that happened in this fair, and from there, start from now on the organization of the Fair and Festivals of Lorca 2020, yes, with the satisfaction, as I say, of having closed this fair 2019 getting there been an unprecedented participation success.
