The explosion of the cannon blew up Donostia Week. Boss
The cannon of the Food Bank and the Amara Berri Neighborhood Association has started an eight-day party full of music, fireworks and more than 380 activities.
The cannon thus begins an eight-day celebration composed of more than 387 activities. Hories include Holi Fest, which has coloured the streets, and the 60th edition of the International Fireworks Competition, which will bring together seven fireworks houses awarded in previous editions. The inauguration will be made by the Italian company Lieto Fireworks, second ranked in 2012.
As every year, music will be the protagonist: there will be concerts on the esplanade of Sagüés, artists such as Morodo and Leire Martinez will perform; and pyromusical shows and lasers will take place in the bay at the close of Big Week. Of course, there will also be several in the txosnas. In addition, there will be no shortage of classic celebrations such as pirate boarding on the beach of La Concha, giants and heads or gastronomic contests.
