The town of Güime is now ready to celebrate its patron saint festivities in honor of San Antonio de Padua with a diverse and participatory program designed by the San Bartolomé City Council to foster neighborly coexistence, preserve traditions, and offer activities for all ages.
The events will begin on June 5 and will last until the 13th, combining cultural, musical, children's, sports, gastronomic, and religious activities that will turn Güime into a meeting point for residents and visitors.
The mayor of San Bartolomé, Isidro Pérez, invites all citizens to participate in festivities that "represent one of the most beloved and deeply rooted traditions of our municipality and that each year turn Güime into a space for meeting, coexistence, and collective pride."
Pérez highlights that "these celebrations are possible thanks to the commitment of the neighbors, associations, groups, and volunteers who contribute to keeping the identity of this town alive. The festivities are a reflection of Güime's welcoming character and the importance we place on our traditions and community life."
For her part, the councilor for Festivities, Estefanía Luzardo, points out that "we have worked to create a varied program, designed for all generations, where the most traditional activities coexist with educational, cultural, and leisure activities that encourage the participation of the whole family."
The councilor adds that "we want these festivities to continue to be a space for coexistence, inclusion, and meeting, where both long-time residents and those who have chosen Güime to live feel part of the same community."
Program
The program will begin on Friday, June 5 with the children's playback and a night of parrandas featuring Son del Norte, Gurfines Son los del Puerto, and El Golpito.
The weekend will concentrate some of the most outstanding activities. On Saturday, June 6, there will be talks on child and family emotional well-being, children's entertainment activities with inflatables, virtual reality, and workshops, as well as a zumba session, adult playback, and a grand festival with performances by Nueva Stella, Vocal Force, and Los Conejeros.
On Sunday, June 7 the traditional foam party will take place, a playroom with children's workshops and a neighborhood gathering enlivened by the Pal Porrón band, reinforcing the participatory nature of the celebrations.
Throughout the week, activities for all audiences will continue, including children's workshops, gastronomic contests for desserts, tortillas, and liqueurs, popular ronda and chinchón tournaments, cooking workshops for children, macramé for adults, a rosette workshop, surprise bingo, and a chess workshop.
The program also reserves a space for culture and reflection with the presentation of the book El Universo y la estrella perdida, by Lorena Curbelo, a work focused on raising awareness about school bullying, which will also feature musical accompaniment by Manuel Becerra.
Music will play a leading role throughout the week with performances by groups and orchestras, including Café con Leche, Orquesta Los Jarvac, DJ Ángel Pérez, Borrón y Cuenta Nueva, and Sonymás.
The big day of the festivities will arrive on Saturday, June 13, the feast day of San Antonio de Padua. The day will include a talk on adolescence and family communication, a tasting of wines, cheeses, and gofio, the solemn celebration of the Eucharist, and the subsequent procession accompanied by the Municipal Band.
The program will culminate with a theatrical performance by the town's residents, a fireworks display, and a grand musical performance that will put the finishing touch to the celebrations.
As a notable novelty, several of the children's activities will feature accessibility and inclusion measures within the initiative “In San Bartolomé, all of us play,” incorporating adapted resources such as pictograms, noise-canceling headphones, and specialized support to facilitate the participation of all children.
The San Bartolomé City Council encourages citizens to enjoy festivities that combine tradition, culture, neighborhood participation, and coexistence, keeping alive the legacy of San Antonio de Padua and reinforcing the sense of belonging to Güime.
