The Port of Tarragona has completed a program of cultural, artistic, sports and family activities for this Christmas under the title “Christmas Dream”.
Since the starting signal of the Port’s Christmas program with the lighting of the lights in the Serrallo and Moll de Costa neighborhood, the Port is committed to creating spaces to develop creativity, sustainability and cooperation, where all family members can take part in the creation of a magical, innovative and sustainable environment.
All activities are free of charge and take place in different areas of the Moll de Costa, Arxiu del Port, Museu del Port, Teatret del Serrallo, Es-cala Reial, Tinglados and Pergola del Ser-rallo. Until January 6, a hundred cultural, artistic and sporting events will fill it
The lighting of the maritime façade, with spaces such as the “El Bosc charming” space and the “El Mar de lum” exhibition in Shed 2 in the Moll de Costa, fill the streets with color with an installation completely powered by 100% green energy .
Christmas in the Port of Tarragona is also characterized by promoting artists from the territory, establishing synergies with cultural and artistic initiatives that move through the city and a closer environment. And this year, Port Christmas plays with the concepts of substance and form as a recreational and environmental awareness strategy with activities and elements that invite the attending public to take care of our planet through recycling activities, reuse of materials, reinvention and revolution in spaces with activities that promote creativity, sustainability and cooperation.
This year, the Christmas Concert will be performed by the sisters Judit and Meritxell Neddermann. The two singers will present a concert of popular Christmas carols inspired by their work “Present”. The album is a revision of popular Catalan Christmas carols with the Neddermann touch. Notable musicians such as Ferran Savall or the sisters Ahyvin and Ahylin Bruno collaborate. Meritxell and Judit, born into a family of musicians, have made a name for themselves in the Catalan musical scene, each one charting different paths, and will perform on December 23 at Tinglado 1 of the Moll de Costa. The event is free to enter with an invitation that can be obtained on the Entradium website.
