It also meant a significant income generation for those who attended 70 booths, with an average of 5 vendors each, close to 350 employees, 50 people in production and 12 additional Great Malecón employees in charge of cleaning and safety.
For its part, the District Culture Houses, the home of the greatest local talents, the Universities of the North and the Atlantic have made visible very important formative processes. They were responsible for contributing 70% of the artistic payroll. The rest was paid for by new artists who are struggling to be recognized and appreciated and who received the applause of the participants
The River Festival, which ended with a big party where there was rock, music tropical and vallenato, and the presentation of Sebastián & Tatán & # 39; Mejía and Luis Ortega, had additional attractions such as the presence of remarkable groups of cheerleading and capoeira.
