During this Monday morning, at the Convention Center, the presentation of the Expo Carnaval 2024 was held, which will take place during the weekend of August 17 and 18.
The executive director of the Permanent Carnival Entity, Luis Sánchez, highlighted that one of the objectives is “to be able to work in advance” and emphasized “the willingness of the different areas, since the carnival is culture and goes hand in hand with tourism. The goal is to unite the carnival in its different nuances, inviting people from the Popular Carnival and the Pequeños Duendes”.
Regarding the expo, which will take place on Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18, Sánchez announced that there will be “different bands, prizes, the presence of the winning figures, inviting entrepreneurs, food truck owners and artisans who wish to participate”, noting that the initiative is part of the current administration's intention to “work together with the comparsas to be able to generate the much-needed income”.
TOURISM AND CARNIVAL
For his part, the Undersecretary of Tourism, Laureano Schvarztman, highlighted the importance of the carnival for the city in terms of the arrival of visitors, since “it is one of the most popular events and has to do with our culture, something that is also developed a lot in the neighborhoods”.
Schvarztman recalled that even at the beginning of the administration, in the last edition of the carnival, they bet on teamwork between municipal areas and “it was the first time in history that the tourist VIP was carried out and it was also achieved, with the private sector, to establish a space related to gastronomic service”.
CULTURE AND CARNIVAL
For his part, the Undersecretary of Culture, Jorge García, commented that from the area “we understand that the carnival is memory because in Concordia we have a carnival that has very rarely been made visible, which has existed since 1920, with great attendance”.
In that context, the official highlighted the concept “of unique identity that the activity generates and a great sense of belonging”, so the objective is “to unify the feeling, the identity and make the people of Concordia feel part of it”, he pointed out.
Finally, García detailed that on Saturday, August 17, “the postponed awards ceremony for the 2024 edition of the Pequeños Duendes will be held, not only recognizing the winning comparsas but also the figures, the highlights, the drum sections and there will be a special recognition for many of their young artists, who for four nights have paraded leaving their talent, all their imprint and the joy that they leave us year after year”.
