Exciting Announcement for the Upcoming Patron Saint Festivals in Puerto del Rosario
On Wednesday, July 15th, the town hall of Puerto del Rosario held an enthusiastic presentation in the plenary hall, unveiling the details of the upcoming patron saint festivals. This year’s celebration promises to be an inclusive affair, offering a variety of activities that cater to all age groups. Key figures, including Mayor David de Vera and Festival Councilor Tacoremi Gutiérrez, joined two representatives from the local seniors’ center, María Juliana de Armas and Caty Velázquez, to share the exciting news.
Honoring the Seniors as Proclaimers
One of the most notable highlights of this year’s festivities is the decision to have the seniors of the municipality serve as the festival’s proclaimers. This choice recognizes their unwavering participation in local events and activities over the years. As Gutiérrez noted, this marks a significant moment in the festival’s history, as seniors have never held this role before. The proclamation event is set for September 25th, and it is regarded as an important gesture to honor the contributions of the elderly community.
Festival Timeline and Activities
The patron saint festivals will commence on September 25th and run until October 7th, offering an extended celebration for everyone in the community. The festivities will feature a lineup of activities that are designed to engage all residents, spanning from cultural exhibitions to family-friendly events that encourage community spirit and togetherness.
A Highlight Performance by Rosario
One of the standout events is the much-anticipated concert by the famous singer Rosario, scheduled for October 6th at 10:00 PM. This concert is free of charge, making it accessible to all residents of Puerto del Rosario. Mayor David de Vera expressed pride in having seniors represented not only in the proclamation but also in the rich cultural tapestry that the festivals embody. He emphasized the importance of including the older generation, who have invaluable life experiences to share.
Emphasizing Inclusivity and Participation
Throughout the presentation, Councilor Gutiérrez reiterated the importance of inclusivity in this year’s festival. She explained that the proposal to honor the seniors as proclaimers was brought to the governing body several months ago. “We felt it was essential to finally give them their moment in the spotlight,” she stated passionately. The festival aims to weave together different generations, fostering a sense of unity and shared celebration.
