The approach and method of Cultural Economics are used to identify and compare the factors associated with local participation during the last decade, and Como Vamos programs’ surveys are used to empirically evaluate the role of a set of traditional variables and the local context in the decision to participate in these festivals. The results suggest wide gaps between and within cities, which are explained by variables such as cultural capital, gender and leisure time, and others considered as structural, such as socioeconomic status, poverty and place of residence. Inequities are substantially greater in Cartagena, where it is necessary to expand access to the most lagging population. The article offers a new standpoint on the nature of regional feast and festivals and inputs for designing cultural policies to greater social appropriation of the regional intangible heritage.
