In July 2026 the Elche city council rolled out a free summer school program for vulnerable children, providing workshops, sports, nutrition guidance and a stipend to support families. The scheme, run at two primary schools, targeted youngsters aged three to twelve and involved local NGOs.

A few days later the council announced a second wave of summer initiatives, allocating nearly €420 000 to traditional festivals and launching an eight‑night free music fest aimed at young residents. The funding supports events such as Semana Santa and Moros y Cristianos, while the Elx Music Fest offers themed parties, local bands and DJ sets.

Together these actions show the municipality’s broad effort to combine social assistance with cultural programming for the community during the summer months.
