The Arrecife City Council held on the night of Tuesday, January 10, at the Arrecife Civic Center, the draw for the order of participation of the nine adult and three children's groups that will participate in the Arrecife Carnival Murgas contest 2023.
The draw, which was attended by a large audience linked to the participating groups, was carried out manually, by choosing by each of the representatives of the murgas the closed envelopes with the name of each group, the order number and the day of performance.
At the end of the draw, the Councilor for Festivities of Arrecife, Encarna Páez, highlighted the "enormous expectation that the draw has aroused whose organization, previously agreed with the murgas, has left everyone satisfied because the criteria contributed by the groups themselves have been taken into account".
In this sense, it was also agreed that each of the children's murgas that will participate in this edition will open the adult murgas contests.
The order established after the draw was as follows:
