Friends of the Ja! Festival

Become a Friend of Ja!

Since we started in 2010 – if you’ve been with us from then, you’ll remember we were born as ‘La Risa de Bilbao’ – many of you have supported Ja! as an essential event to enjoy the most joyful talks and activities on literature, film, art and humour in Bilbao.

Now we invite you to join our community as a Friend of Ja!, a membership that makes you a partner in crime with our project.

30€

Annual subscription (1)

These are some of the exclusive benefits you will receive:

Front row: Priority access with pre-reserved seating in the front rows. Just write us an email to book your seat (2).
10% discount on paying activities.
Monthly raffle of books, some dedicated by their authors.
Welcome tote bag: The first subscriptions will receive an exclusive bag designed by the graphic artist Javier Jaén (3).

Become a Friend of Ja! and be part of a community that celebrates humour in the arts and as a fundamental part of life.
