The initial events, including sports tournaments, took place last Sunday. As a novelty, and due to construction at the Ruedo Alameda, the attractions have been moved to the side area of this space and to San Acacio street. Noise-free fair periods have been established from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Friday, October 2nd, and Sunday, October 4th, to provide a more comfortable experience for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Sunday, October 4th, will also be celebrated as Children's Day.
The cultural agenda features an exaltation to Saint Francis of Assisi, led by Fray Salva de Ronda, this Wednesday at 8:00 PM in the Franciscan convent, as part of the commemorations for the 800th anniversary of the saint's passing. From October 1st to 3rd, a triduum will be held. On Friday, the official lighting ceremony, the opening of the booth managed by the Brotherhood of the Holy Burial with affordable prices, and the election of the fair's queens and mister will take place.
Saturday will feature the traditional free rice serving in the atrium, followed by various performances, trophy presentations, and a special recognition for a distinguished figure from the neighborhood. Sunday will be dedicated to the elderly, with a meal organized by the City Council, performances, and children's activities.
Sunday's events will conclude with a children's party at 5:00 PM hosted by the clown Catapum. Subsequently, at 6:30 PM, a mass will be held at the Church of the Holy Spirit, preceding the procession of Saint Francis of Assisi through the neighborhood streets.
The municipal delegate for Festivals, Rebeca Muñoz, has highlighted the crucial collaboration of the Neighborhood Association and the Brotherhood of the Holy Burial, whose involvement is key to making this event possible and preserving local traditions.
