All 40 Reinado Popular contestants took part in the swimsuit runway show at Plaza de la Aduana on November 6, in Cartagena’s Historic Center. The activity was part of the Independence Festivities, according to the event report from the Institute of Heritage and Culture of Cartagena (IPCC).
The runway show was accompanied by music and dance performances. IPCC reported that families and the contestants’ supporters attended.
A collection by Cartagena designers
The contestants wore pieces from Terra y Roma, a collection by Agua de Coco, a Cartagena label led by Valentina and Valeria Rodríguez. The designs used earth and sand tones as a reference to the Caribbean, according to the organizers’ description.
The evening continued the pageant’s other activities. Before the runway show, the Talent Competition had brought the contestants together at Teatro Adolfo Mejía, with performances involving stage arts, acting, singing and makeup. IPCC reported six joint winners at that event.
Music and a performance about Getsemaní
According to the institutional report, Faylin Rodríguez, queen of the Independence Festivities, danced alongside the Ekobios group in a performance directed by Dixon Pérez.
Children also took part in the production Vida de Barrio de Getsemaní, accompanied by Lucas Betancourt. Jerau, Byordy and Kevin Flórez provided the closing musical performances.
