“There is a great team working together with the comparsas so that this edition of the Carnival consolidates its success and growth,” highlighted Mayor Enrique Cresto in this regard.
“The Carnival is a cultural, popular, and traditional expression of all the people of Concordia. It generates jobs and highlights the talent of our artists. Furthermore, it strengthens the city's tourism offer, which contributes to the development of Concordia,” argued the Mayor. “That is why we frame this celebration within our management planning, in the cultural and tourism policies of the city, with the conviction that the growth of the Carnival has a positive impact on the entire city,” he added.
“We are happy and proud of the Carnival we have in Concordia and the enormous work of the comparsas and their members; that is why, in addition to the announcements of what has been arranged for the next edition and the review of everything we are doing so that the Carnival grows, we want to convey a special thanks to the leaders of the comparsas, their members, and the Carnival family that has accompanied us from the first moment. Without a doubt, this Carnival is a collective construction of many years of effort and commitment that today is projected as one of the best carnivals in the country,” valued Cresto.
