Starting at 21:30, attendees can enjoy iconic Bollywood dances, with colourful costumes and choreographies that reflect India's rich culture.

Children's Fair: Circus and Puppetry for the Little Ones
Meanwhile, the Children's Verbena programme offers activities designed for children and families. On Friday, July 31, at 21:30, the company Trotamundos will perform 'Story of a Trunk' in Plaza del Sol at PAU-4. This is a circus and gestural theatre show that narrates the adventures of Fidel and Capulita, two travelling characters who carry a magical trunk full of surprises. With juggling, hula hoops, and humour, the play aims to entertain both children and adults.
On Sunday, August 2, at 11:00, the Puppet Theatre of Finca Liana will host the play 'A Wolf in the Stories', performed by the company Los Gorriones. Founded in 2005, this group is known in the Community of Madrid for its work in merging art, education, and values. The performance promises a fun and educational story about the wolves in classic tales.
With these activities, the Móstoles City Council aims to provide a cultural leisure alternative during the months of July and August, both for residents and visitors. All shows are outdoors and free of charge, allowing families to enjoy the summer together.
The Verbena programme has established itself as a regular event in Móstoles' summer calendar, with a varied offering that encompasses different musical and artistic styles. The responsible department has highlighted the importance of bringing culture to all neighbourhoods in the municipality, using public spaces such as parks and squares.
