On the Bicentennial Pedestrian Street in front of the Municipal Palace, the 0km cars that will be raffled off at the National Citriculture Festival and the International Reyes Marathon were exhibited. These are two of the main summer events, which together with the Concordia Carnival, constitute the triad of proposals that mobilize tourism and the city.
Mayor Enrique Cresto, together with the members of the organizing committee of the Citriculture Festival, the Reyes Marathon, and Emcontur, presented the 0km cars that will be raffled off in the two events that mark the beginning of the summer season proposals.
In dialogue with the press, the Mayor highlighted the importance of carrying out these activities, which are a classic of the city and bring the whole family together. "If it were not for the support and participation of the private sector, it would be very difficult to hold these important events. That is why I want to thank all the sponsors, especially Manaos, as well as the CFI, and everyone who works and makes the realization of the Citriculture Festival, the Reyes Marathon, and the Carnival possible," he expressed.
Matias Soto referred to the schedule of the Citriculture Festival, which will be held on December 6, 7, and 8 at the Parque Estación Central grounds at San Lorenzo and Gobernador Cresto. "On Friday, December 6, we will have an international artist like Duki, on Saturday the 7th the show by Ángela Leiva, and on Sunday the 8th, closing the Citriculture Festival, a great artist like La Sole, and each night also a great lineup of local artists, on Saturday the Concordia Carnival show and the coronation of the Citriculture Queen, and on Sunday the raffle of the 0km car," he detailed.
"By purchasing the $100 contribution voucher, you gain access to participate in the car raffle and it is the passport to enter this mega event for all three nights. We will have a large commercial fair with more than one hundred exhibitors, institutional stands, a food court, a beer garden, and a children's play area," he invited. "The contribution voucher will be sold at Plaza 25 de Mayo, at the official stand; we recommend everyone to buy it in advance," he said.
For his part, Marcelo Flores, director of the athletic event, indicated that "online registration has already begun through the site www.maratondereyes.com, and in the month of December we will carry out in-person registration and kit delivery". Like every year, the runners who register will participate in the 0km car raffle. "We are doing joint promotions with the Carnival and the Citriculture Festival, to promote not only the Marathon but all the attractions of the city". Thus, Flores said that "we have been promoting the Reyes in different races, in the coming days we will be in Villaguay and in Salto, on November 30 we will be at the Bolivar Marathon, and we will continue like this until we reach January, so that a great sports festival can be experienced once again".
