In the framework of the May 25th celebrations, the Gruta de Lourdes neighborhood square was the setting for the South Zone Patriotic Festival, an initiative promoted by the Municipality of Concordia through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, which brought together hundreds of residents for a day filled with music, folk dances, traditional flavors, and community spirit.
The activity is part of the public policies being promoted by the administration of Mayor Francisco Azcué, fostering cultural identity, citizen participation, and joint work between different municipal areas and civil society organizations.
“This festival shows what we are capable of building when we come together: community, memory, and joy. Our administration is committed to multiplying these spaces in all neighborhoods,” stated Eng. Sebastián Arístide, Secretary of Human Development of the Municipality.
For his part, the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto, highlighted that “celebrating May 25th is not just about remembering a date, but also about strengthening the bonds that unite us as a people. Today, in this square, the residents were the protagonists of a true celebration of the Nation.”
During the afternoon, folk ballets, musical ensembles, and local groups performed, filling the stage with color and emotion. The event featured the collaboration of more than 30 residents, the support of four neighborhood soup kitchens, and the joint effort of 16 municipal areas that worked in a coordinated manner to make every detail possible.
Present at the celebration were the Provincial Senator for the Concordia Department, Cielo Espejo; the Vice Mayor and President of the Deliberative Council, Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Secretary of Health, Diego Sauré; the Undersecretary of Environment, Constanza Montoreano; the Undersecretary of Government, Lucas Fuscado; and Dr. Laura Sitzman.
