PRESS RELEASE WYD Panama 2019 presents the official program of the Youth Festival

Panama City, December 7, 2018. Music, dance, plastic arts, food, cinema, and theater, as well as paint and photography will be instruments of cultural connection for the pilgrims of World Youth Day Panama. From January 23 to 27, 2019, the Youth Festival will engage young people from all over the globe in various expressions of art and culture.

!

The Youth Festival will feature 226 artists from 46 different countries sharing their faith in 11 artistic disciplines. Pilgrims will be able to enjoy concerts from some of the world’s most famous Christian musicians including Matt Maher (United States), Master Plan (United Arab Emirates), La Voz del Desierto (Spain), and Alfareros (The Dominican Republic).

!

The Youth Festival will be hosted in 33 locations around Panama City. The festival includes seven official stages, identified by the names of the Patron Saints of WYD Panama 2019. There will also be satellite stages at the main commercial centers of the Panamanian capital as well as presentations in theaters, museums, and churches which will be adoration centers.

!

One highlight of the festival is the “WYD 2019 Cup,” a friendly soccer tournament that will be held Wednesday, January 23 in Town Center, Costa del Este. Young pilgrims of the world will unite through a sports activity that will be more about sharing than competing. It is an opportunity to develop good values: teamwork, sportsmanship, effort, respect, honesty, and collaboration.
