Donostiako Aste Nagusia 2024

The change of mayor of San Sebastian or the return of La Oreja de Van Gogh. These are some of the images that the Longing has left us.

Mr. Insausti noted that the number of crimes had fallen by 45 per cent from last year and was the lowest since the pandemic.

The firehouse Pirotecnia Valenciana has been awarded the Golden Shell of the 61 San Sebastián International Fireworks Competition, held from 8 to 14 August on the occasion of the Big Week 2026, thus achieving its fourth consecutive victory in the capital of Guipuzcoana.

As a result of Friday's stoppage, the Quincena Musical dance show will no longer take place, and the Pirates of San Sebastian have suspended activities in Trinity Square and the Skabidean concert.

The Big Week of San Sebastian has entered its final straight, but with great enthusiasm for the party. Today it has been made clear by the youngest in the house. DozenakaTeens have participated in the small boarding. As adults have done on Monday, they have boarded the waters of the pier. 

Hundreds of young people have completed the pirate boarding from the port of San Sebastián to the beach of La Concha. Onternational boats have entered the water and sunk immediately, but others have reached their destination in a festive atmosphere and, as tradition dictates, there has been no shortage of pirate flags and authorised 'boat theft'.

The pirate boarding will once again bring together thousands of participants in one of the busiest dates of the Big Donostiarra Week, at 5 p.m., as they will leave the port of San Sebastian.

The rain has not tarnished the moment, and the Guipuzcoana capital has burst with the lighting of the fuse by Onintza Mokoroa. Then, for the first time, the dances have taken over the terrace of the town hall by eight dance groups of the city. 

The Chief Gunner will light the fuse at 7 p.m. in the gardens of Alderdi Eder and thus begin the eight-day holiday, with more than 400 activities scheduled.

Equality Councilwoman Ane Oyarbide has stated that "Big Week must be a space of coexistence, respect and freedom for all people."

The mobilizations, which will take place on 5, 14 and 26 August, are supported by the Gasteiz Txosna Commission, the Donostia Pirates and Bilboko Konpartsak, who want to denounce the "lack of progress" in improving working conditions in the sector.

The Pirates of San Sebastián have presented the program of this year's San Sebastián parties, which will explode on August 8 in Flamenka, where you will be able to enjoy the music of Mirua, Anari, Neomak, Tapia eta Leturia and Skabidean, among others.

The Big Week of San Sebastian is officially over, but the Pirates have put an end to it. It's been 20 years since they organized the Gossip to fire the parties with a parody parade.

The charanga Izaro, Janus Lester and Joselontxos played live last night on the beach of La Concha to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the fireworks contest.

The incident occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday in a central area of the city centre.

Fireworks have been the most popular event, with a total of 665,000 participants, and the most successful concerts in Sagüés have been those of OBK, Morodo and Leire Martinez.

Sare has held an annual demonstration to call for the "return home of Basque prisoners, refugees and deportees" during the Big Week Donostia. The organization has highlighted the progress made over the past year, but has added that there is still a long way to go.
