These are cultural, recreational, and artistic activities, among others, taking place in the squares and parks of the Historic Center of San Salvador.

Thanks to the safe environment in El Salvador, hundreds of citizens participated in the recreational, cultural, and family activities organized by the San Salvador municipality in the so-called SivArt Christmas edition.

The development of these activities had different focal points, such as Gerardo Barrios and Morazán squares, as well as Libertad and Cuscatlán parks, and the new square in front of El Calvario Church.

Both the National Civil Police (PNC) and the Metropolitan Agents Corps (CAM) personnel ensured the well-being of all visitors, including those who had come to explore the facilities of the new National Library of El Salvador, where long lines of citizens were waiting to enter.

"This is the most beautiful time of the year; a few days ago, we had planned to come with the family to see the new library and find out about the activities organized by the municipality," said citizen Juan Campos.

The musical festivities were led by various peace bands that gathered in front of the National Palace, delighting families, as well as dance groups. There was representation from different regions of the country. For children, there were face paintings, classic games, sports spaces, and more.

Spaces for the development of these activities were also set up at Bambú City, Presidente Plaza, and Muna stations in the San Benito neighborhood, west of the capital, with tourist tours for both national and foreign visitors.

In the evening, families enjoyed the Christmas lights that adorned the squares and parks of the capital; the organizers announced that there would be activities until midnight on Saturday, as some restaurants and cafes have special hours for the Christmas season.

The Ministries of Tourism and Culture also joined this effort. The activities will continue on Sunday, December 10th.
