Fiestas de Burgos: Virtual programming begins – The GO!

‘Remembering’, a symbolic memory of the festivities of San Pedro and San Pablo in Burgos in 2020

With this online programming It is intended to offer the people of Burgos a memory of what the patron saint festivities have been in the past years. The festivities of San Pedro and San Pablo have been canceled due to the health crisis, but they were the axis of union of all citizens, who during these dates we celebrated the festivals of our city together.

From the City Council of Burgos they say: «This year 2020 even though there will be no parties, we want to offer the opportunity to remember them. The name of the campaign is both memory and gratitude. Remembrance of traditional, cultural and popular events that were to be held these days and gratitude through certain content that groups leading the festivities (peñas, traditional groups or cultural industries) offer their audience in a virtual way ».
