Then (12:30 hours) the Toka Championship will be held in the Gaztelugain society (in Trecuk). Popular food will start at 14:30 hours, after collection of tickets by whoever wants and with his own. On the table there will be bertsos and pilgrimage, the latter by the hand of Astiazaran and Narbaiza. And at dusk, the day of the trekutz will have its punchline in the gaztetxe of Antzuola, with the concert of the Harrikadak group.
