The Minister for Culture, the Hon Steven Linares officially launched the 2019 Spring Festival Programme. Commenting on the Festival Minister Linares said:

‘It is an honour for me to present the full and varied programme of events that comprise this year’s Gibraltar Spring Festival. Many of the events are organised specifically for this cultural platform, including, the Young Shakespeare Company, the Spring Visual Arts Competition, the Miss Gibraltar Pageant, and the Celebration of Opera, to name a few.

'There are other events organised by private entities and have chosen to host their respective event under the Spring Festival umbrella. Regardless of the method of inception and production, they all share one common purpose in promoting the arts and culture within our community. 

'By forming part of the Spring Festival these events ensure that as from 1st May and for over seven consecutive weeks, visitors and locals alike, can enjoy an intense period of cultural and other related activities leading towards the festival finale, being the Celebration of Opera.

'I wish you all a most enjoyable and entertaining Spring Festival 2019’.

The winners of the Spring Logo Competition were also awarded their prizes with the 1st prize of £500 going to Stefano Pantone.
