Pasacalles: a tradition that continues to amaze
Parades have been around since ancient times, but in recent years they have taken on a new prominence in the entertainment world. At Billy Capers’ La Fabulosa Feria, parades are an essential part of the experience, taking the magic beyond the stage and immersing the audience in a universe of color, music and fantastic characters.
From stilt walkers, live musicians and giant soap bubbles to characters out of fairy tales, the parades break the traditional barrier between spectator and artist. At the fair, each visitor becomes part of the show, living an immersive and participatory experience.
The energy of music and movement
One of the most impactful elements of the parades is the live music. Bands like The Plunger Dixie Band bring vibrant rhythms inspired by New Orleans jazz, pacing the entertainers and creating a festive atmosphere that fills the fair with life.
In addition, the parades integrate circus elements such as acrobatics, juggling and dance, generating unique and unrepeatable moments in each route. Dynamism and surprise are the key, making each day at the fair different and special.
Why are parades still so important?
Unlike stage shows, the parades bring the magic of the show directly to the public. Interaction is key: the artists improvise with the audience, creating moments of humor and complicity that make each visit to the fair unforgettable.
The Fabulous Billy Capers Fair has turned the parades into one of its hallmarks, demonstrating that emotion and creativity do not need a fixed stage to shine.
