Festival da Luz

Activity · Boimorto, Arzúa, A Coruña

The Festival da Luz is a charity music event organised on the initiative of the singer Luz Casal, a native of Boimorto, with the collaboration of her home municipality. It is held over three days in summer in the parish of Andavao, with a spirit closer to a romería than to a conventional festival, open to any kind of music. The first edition, in 2012, brought together more than five thousand people and the proceeds went to the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer, although a storm warning forced the cancellation of the second day's performances. In later editions it has raised funds for causes such as neuromuscular diseases, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam Intermón, and oncological research at Compostela's Oncomet, with sponsors such as Estrella Galicia and the SGAE.
