Ibai Capot Thornary, head of AEK on the last day, has assured that they have organised a “big party like the one worth the Korrika” in Tuesday’s Patxa Square in Baiona. After 11 days touring the Basque Country under the motto Harro Herri, 23. Korrika will hit the capital of Lapurdi on 24 March and arrive at Plaza de la Libertad at 12:30 from the Santizpirita Bridge. The event will end with the presence of Pantxika Maitia Kanaldude, a well-known face on the television channel, and after bringing the witness to the end together with representatives of AEK, the author of the secret message will read the message this year.

The last kilometers will be the following: Cécilia Esku; Etxerat, Sare and Bakebidean; Errigora; different political parties; Basque trade union majority; UEMA and Udalbiltza; Hekimen; educational agents; Azterlan Euskaraz, tribute to this year’s Korrika; Kontseilua and the last Basque Confederation;

Numerous concerts and initiatives

AEK organizers await people on Sunday and have invited all Euskaltzales from all corners: “It will be a stimulus to continue working for the Basque Country.” Bayona’s candidate, Jean René Etchegaray, highlighted at Tuesday’s press conference that the whole city has been in favour of Korrika, especially in this edition.

The festival has been divided into four spaces designed for all audiences. The Plaza de San Andrés will host the Naiz space (also lilac point), the Etxepare Institute at the Xaho pier (where dirty food will be provided) and the other two spaces will be the Plaza del Mercado and the Plaza Patxa. There will also be many activities on the streets, spreading the Basque claim, and they have remembered that the Korrika Lagun will also celebrate the closing day.

They have announced numerous concerts, organized in cooperation with cultural agents of Iparralde: Ibil Bedi, Anje Duhalde, Xiberoots, Xutik, Haira, TOC, Zetkin and Nakar, among others. There will be a child txoko and the Pontx clown.
