From the 11th to the 14th
of July, 50,000 square metres of Feria de Madrid (IFEMA) will be
transformed into one easy to digest platform of street culture.
It's the first project from the people
at MULARED. They may come from different backgrounds but together
they have one common cause – to show the public an alternative way
of living. And they've done just that. MULAFEST offers a bit of
everything for your perusal, or if you're game, your participation.
For the ink enthusiasts, there's live
tattooing. But for those who aren't so committed, there's one area
where you can test out tattoos without the permanency.
“El Garaje” is for the petrol
enthusiasts. It's where you'll find customised motorbikes and classic
American car shows. For a bit more adrenalin, head to the skate and
BMX park. Some of the top skaters and riders will battle it out
against the clock across a course of railings and stairs. Up and
comers can also show off their skills in an open competition.
But don't despair if you can't kickflip
successfully, there are other activities for the coordinated and the
creative. The art area is where you can create your own masterpiece
on a T-shirt or skateboard. Then there's MULAFEST dance masterclasses
where you can practice how to pop, lock and krump.
To get you all into the mood in the
lead up to the event, the brains at MULAFEST are giving you an early
taste of what's to come. From the 7th to the 10th
of July, the metro commute is going to get a whole lot more
entertaining. A series of mini stages will be set up for different
musical performances across various stations.
So how much does it cost to join all of
this? For one day you're looking at €15
euros. For the full four days it will set you back €38
or €50 if you need car
parking as well.

because it's all in Spanish.
