Pego Viu is celebrating its 10th anniversary on the weekend of May 10–11 in Pego, commemorating a decade since the wildfire that inspired the formation of the collective. The event will feature stalls from local groups, a talk about Pego Viu’s journey, live music, tastings, workshops, a documentary premiere, and a roundtable discussion on the future of the territory. On Sunday, participants will take a guided excursion to visit reforested areas and ongoing restoration efforts.
