On the 24th, in the Gabriel Celaya auditorium, there will be a ‘snack’ and a music festival organized by the Socialist Youth, the same stage that on the night of the 25th will host the monologues by Nacho García and Miguel Lago, organized by the Brotherhood of Santa María Magdalena.

Other events of interest will be the Rice and Rabbit Festival on Monday the 29th in the Paseo Ribereño or the religious acts in honor of the patron saint. Thus, on August 24 there will be a concentration and subsequent Huertana Mass in the Basilica of the Assumption from 11 am. At its conclusion, San Bartolomé will leave in procession through the streets of the old town. During all the holidays, his brotherhood has prepared a series of evenings that will take place in the Balcón del Muro. These acts will end on the 31st with the solemn procession and the blessing of the fields, also with the image of the patron saint.
No bullfights
With less than a month to go until the festivities begin, no bullfight has yet been scheduled or announced in the historic La Esperada bullring, which celebrates its 110th anniversary this year. To date, neither the owners of the bullring nor the City Council itself know if there will be shows, not even the historic celebration of August 24, the patron’s day.
