In the framework of the celebrations for a new anniversary of the May Revolution, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, will carry out a series of cultural, educational, and community activities that invite reflection on our history, strengthen the sense of belonging, and reaffirm the values that unite us as a people.
With the support of the Mayor, Dr. Francisco Azcué, these actions are framed within a public policy that promotes local and national identity through education and culture. The joint work with the Directorate of Ceremonial and Protocol and the Directorate of Events has been fundamental in making this proposal possible, which integrates residents, artists, teachers, and students.
On Thursday, May 22, at 7:00 PM, an open and free historical talk titled "Entre Ríos in the times of the May Revolution" will be held in the Municipal Hall (first floor), led by professors Rosa María Reisseweber and Graciela Guerrero. This activity proposes to recover regional perspectives on the revolutionary process, understanding that our province played a leading role in national history.
In parallel, throughout the week in the morning at Plaza 25 de Mayo, there is a call to join the "Bandera de la Patria Mía" project, a collective action that invites the community to build a large national flag together. "We invite all families, schools, and residents to bring their piece of light blue or white fabric. Each stitch represents a story, a hope, a reaffirmation of the pride of being Argentine," expressed the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto.
Furthermore, he highlighted: "We work so that every cultural and educational action is not just a commemoration, but an opportunity for meeting, participation, and the transmission of values. The May Revolution reminds us that change begins with the people and that unity is the engine of development. That is also the vision of Mayor Azcué, with whom we share the conviction that culture and education are pillars for building a better city."
The "Identity in Freedom" Honorary Performance will take place on Saturday, May 24, at 9:30 PM at the Teatro Odeón, with an artistic production that will bring together prominent city ballets such as "Alas y Estilo," "Sembrando Futuro," the Municipal Folklore Ballet "Renovando Sueños," and "Alas de mi Patria." The music will be provided by the renowned group Ecos del Supremo and the Trío Azul, composed of Luis Bordoy, Pablo Kauffmann, and Marcelo Salvador.
The closing will be at midnight, as it becomes May 25, with the singing of the Argentine National Anthem by the 6th Tank Cavalry Regiment "Blandengues" Music Band, accompanied by lyric tenor Benjamín Zubiaurre, marking a moment of profound symbolism and collective emotion.
Finally, on Sunday, May 25, from 3:00 PM, the celebration will move to the southern area of the city, where the Gruta de Lourdes Neighborhood Patriotic Festival (Alvear and Giuliani) will take place. From the afternoon, residents will be able to enjoy performances by different folk ballets, the act of Ramón Maydana, and the 6th Tank Regiment "Blandengues" Music Band. There will be patriotic hot chocolate to share, and those who wish may attend dressed in period clothing. This activity, in particular, is being organized together with various municipal areas, following an integral approach that seeks to carry out the day alongside neighborhood leaders and residents of the area.
These proposals, designed from an integrative and community perspective, seek to celebrate our history with joy, reflection, and participation, remembering that the May Revolution was, above all, a collective commitment to freedom, justice, and the construction of a common future.
