commitments

One more year, the local fellow, hotel and restaurant establishments in the region collaborate with the festival, a true reflection of the collaborative model of cultural management and citizen participation that characterizes Puerto de la Cruz.

Phe Festival continues to bet on sustainability, and in this edition the challenge of achieving a balance between the environmental, the social and the economic goes through the circular economy, as well as individual and collective responsibility. For this, as in previous editions, it has the collaboration of Ecoembes, Ecovidrio and the area of Community Welfare, Educational Action and Healthy Practices of the Porto City Council. As a fundamental part of the Phe experience, the festival recommends the use of public transport as an alternative to mobility for attendees who come to enjoy the scheduled activities, also with the support of TITSA.

One of the novelties this year in Phe Festival is the incorporation of mandatory use of cashless wristbands that not only makes spending more comfortable for the attending public, but also contributes to reducing the environmental impact of the festival thanks to technology. This system also allows strict control of capacity and prevents the circulation of cash, an important detail to reduce the risk of possible coronavirus infections.
