Over the weekend, the “Immigrant Pre-event” was held, an event aimed at previewing what will be the Immigrant Festival, which this year marks its 30th anniversary in Concordia. At the same time, Inmigrantes Unidos invites everyone to continue participating in the upcoming activities that will take place within this framework, building anticipation for this popular festival.
The municipal coordinator of Popular Festivals, Verónica Kinderknecht, explained that “from the municipal administration of mayor Enrique Cresto, we are supporting the execution of this agenda of activities to strengthen the development of this festival, which is so important for Concordia,” she valued.
In this sense, the official detailed that “on this day we had very pleasant weather, the sun accompanied us and it was a great celebration. It is promising for two weeks from now because on September 8, 9, and 10, one of the most popular festivals that Concordia has will take place, where all the communities work to preserve, disseminate, and showcase their respective cultures,” she highlighted.
For her part, the president of Inmigrantes Unidos, Yamile Latour, expressed that “we had a beautiful day for the Immigrant Pre-event; it was a preview of what will be our thirtieth edition of the Provincial Immigrant Festival. We also invite you to participate on September 2 in the Torchlight March, which departs at 7:00 PM from the Plazoleta de las Colectividades, and on the 3rd, for those who wish to join us for the religious service at the Cathedral at 10:00 AM, and on the 4th, National Immigrant Day, we will hold a formal ceremony at the Convention Center,” she detailed.
“We appreciate the presence of everyone who participated and the support of mayor Enrique Cresto. We are very happy because the ballet groups, the queens, and the candidates were there. Furthermore, it is important that young people get involved because this year the pre-event, just like the talent night, was organized entirely by the Youth Immigrants subcommittee; they are our future generation, and they are already testing all the details of planning a festival,” Latour highlighted.
The president of Youth Immigrants, Camila Rodriguez Bogado, said that “people were able to enjoy typical dishes, and we were handing out stickers so that each person could carry the colors of their community everywhere.” Likewise, she commented that “this year we returned with Youth Immigrants; the idea is to invite more people from outside, grow in the youth area, and find new activities to develop and make the festival grow even more,” she concluded.
