On 27 and 28 May the festivities of the Casco Viejo de Bilbao will be held and on Friday the festival poster was presented. This year for the first time the competition has been held to choose the cartel and Irune Sunsunaga has been the winner. Under the motto "Zaharrean berri", residents presented chocolates and parties.
As the committee of parties has pointed out, parties are "the most important symbolic expression of a community; the most natural of a community". Regardless of the peculiarities of the Old Party, the neighbors want to discover that it is a neighborhood and for this purpose popular meals are essential during parties, concerts or a drink at the txosnas.
Although they have criticized that making a macro-event in Bilbao is easier than making parties, they have made it clear that they will celebrate the festivities: "The streets are going to take a color and the neighborhood is going to burst into a collective joy."
The poster has not yet been published, but activities, proposals and initiatives will be announced until the beginning of the festivities. Schedules and places. The poster will be filled in the coming weeks, but as they have advanced so far, there will be no lack of Alde Izarra "talent show", bulls of water, paellas competition, food, neighborhood Olympics... They ask for help from people to take everything. "At the moment, prepare your choreographies and cooking tools! If you need them! ", points out the committee of parties.
