The Ministry of Culture has recently announced the change of date for the Spring Festival Calentita Night, from Friday 21st June to Saturday 22nd June 2013.
The main reason for changing the date to a Saturday is to allow Gibraltar’s Jewish community to participate in the event, either by manning a stall or simply through their attendance. This change coincides with the Government’s manifesto commitment to improve community events such as Calentita.
