The Colombinas , Huelva's main festival, begins this Wednesday with a special day that, as a new feature this year, celebrates Children's Day, offering reduced prices on attractions after the lighting ceremony and inauguration of the main entrance.
The lighting ceremony is scheduled for 9:15 PM and will last approximately one hour. A float from Plus Ultra, crewed by children from the Patio del Amor and the Corporación Infantil, accompanied by a charanga band, will be a highlight. Local artist Carmen Molina, along with the Municipal Symphonic Band of Huelva, will perform Carlos Gardel's 'La Gloria del Águila'.
Following this, at 10:00 PM, a fireworks display will take place, accompanied by the Municipal Band of Huelva, which will play 'Suspiros de España', 'Por una Cabeza', and the 'Danza Ritual del Fuego' by Manuel de Falla as the fireworks light up the sky.
