On March 15, World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated. This date serves to raise awareness of the importance of protecting our interests. The Municipal Consumer Service has been doing this since 1983 by educating consumers and resolving their complaints through the Municipal Consumer Information Office (OMIC) and the Consumer Arbitration Board. In addition, municipal consumer inspectors ensure that all products put up for sale are safe.
To commemorate this day, the City Council has prepared a Grand Celebration for World Consumer Rights Day, tomorrow, Saturday, March 15, from 5:00 to 8:30 p.m., at La Esfera. Children and adults can enjoy numerous activities accompanied by the party mascot, Bee Rufina, and two magicians.
For the little ones, there will be traditional games (fishing for fish, frog jumping, ring toss, paddle foosball, and turtle racing), crafts, and an inflatable castle.
Adults can create sachets with aromas and bracelets with recycled materials. They can also learn to decorate a garden or build a solar-powered oven. In the cooking school, they will learn to eat healthily by cooking a mini-croissant, which they can then enjoy. There will also be a photo booth, with the option to print photos on paper. The party will feature vehicles from the Local Police, Civil Protection Service, and Alcobendas Fire Department.
Furthermore, adults can address their queries about consumer rights at the informational booth inside La Esfera.
