Imaginaxión Festival: A Magical Cultural Experience in Playa del Carmen

The Imaginaxión Festival, a captivating cultural event, is set to take place from June 21st to 23rd in Playa del Carmen. This festival, organized by Mayakoba City, is a free event that forms part of Mayakoba University's annual activities. The event aims to promote cultural and community development by offering a diverse program suitable for the entire family.

Eric Antolín, Marketing Director of Mayakoba City, emphasized that the festival seeks to connect the community with cultural and recreational events. This encourages interaction and social development. "The festival is a blend of imagination and action, designed to inspire both children and adults through educational and entertaining activities," he said.

Pamela Garduño, the festival's curator, outlined some of the activities included in the Imaginaxión program. These include illustration workshops with artists like Tania Recio and family reading workshops led by María Torre. The festival will also feature a sensorama, which will enable children to learn through their senses.

Mayakoba City is committed to sustainability and environmental care, and this will be reflected in conservation-focused workshops at the festival. "We want children to understand their role in protecting the planet and how their actions can make a difference," said Garduño. She also mentioned that on Friday, June 21st, there will be talks aimed at parents, focusing on the importance of science in early childhood development.
