Euskal Jaiaclaiming our cultureUrretxu festivities
It’s a nice day for us, because every year in this parade our goal is to show the public a new dance. In a few years we have also had the opportunity to show our new clothes along with the new dance. We really enjoy this day.
It’s been many years participating in this great day. On the Sunday of the Urretxu festivities, the Basque holiday is celebrated, and different activities are organized throughout the day. The biggest event of the day is the huge parade of chariots in the afternoon. Different gangs or groups of people create chariots, always with the intention of claiming something. Chariots cross the country, and with them many local cultural agents, such as musicians, giants and dancers.
