The Aguapata festivities in El Islote came to an end this Sunday, and with them, the summer festivities of the municipality.

This weekend, the festivities included events for all ages, with inflatables and a playroom for the little ones. Likewise, the wrestling match between singles and married men was held, with victory for the former, and the neighbors also enjoyed the night of revelry, with performances by El Geito, Pal Porrón and Tahod.

On Saturday, the Aguapata festivities hosted the traditional donkey race, organized by the Los Amigos del Burro de El Islote association. A total of 32 specimens participated in the race. The first prize went to Diego, with the donkey "Nana"; the second to Esteban, with the donkey "Perico"; and the third to Roberto, with the donkey "Doro". The prizes were awarded by the mayoress, the organizers and the Councilor for Festivities, and a one-year-old donkey was raffled.

Numerous neighbors attended the event, which continued with the adults' playback, with a total of 20 participants who, with lively performances, reviewed classic and modern singing themes. The ingenuity, the costumes and the interpretation gave a fun point to the night of celebrations, which also included musical performances by Armando Ravelo and Destroy Art.

Afterwards, the fireworks filled the sky with color, giving way to a lively open-air dance that lasted until well into the morning, enlivened by Rika Banda.

The festivities concluded on Sunday, October 2, with a foam party at 12 noon and theater at 8 p.m., by the group from Mácher, who took to the stage to perform the plays "Los amores de Leonor" and "Pueblo seco", with which he made the neighbors and attendees laugh.
