One of the most glamorous and stylish festivals on the Costa Blanca takes place in June, just as summer is beginning in the beautiful, romantic town of Altea, with the Moonrise Party. The event is held in the Saltea restaurant, an exceptional location in the Luis Campomanes Marina. A real display of elegance and sophistication on the shores of the Mediterranean.
A glamorous event bringing together national and international stars, artists, personalities from the world of business, beautiful people and sponsors who shower guests with luxury gifts. Moonrise Party bills itself as one of the party season's highlights, a magical night of luxury and glamour at a sophisticated celebration. There are exquisite cocktails, live music, luxury catering and above all the glamour that the artists and celebrity guests bring.
Last year's Moonrise party included two special, star guests: The renowned Lebanese violinist Ara Malikian, now living in Madrid, who has played in the best concert halls in the world, as well as television presenter Carolina Casado.
The exquisite menu included a selection of tapas such as Norwegian smoked salmon with salad bouquets, melon with Guijuelo ham and sautéed foie gras with a Muscatel and grape reduction. The party also boasts live performances by the BigBand Jazz Marinas, a prize draw among the guests and lots of entertainment from DJ Oliver Graf, a lover of house music and in charge of filling the dance floor.
The party is the brainchild of the Russian-Spanish bilingual magazine Impuls Plus. Last year's party launched their new magazine, Club Vip Impuls, a joint celebration with Saltea restaurant's first anniversary, offering a menu of Mediterranean specialities in a fresh, modern atmosphere with jazz themes; a sensational atmosphere. The very same atmosphere you'll find during the the long hours of fun and glamour of the Moonrise Party!
