The Concordia Convention Center welcomed the joy, color, and brilliance of the six troupes that make up the 2025 edition of the Los Pequeños Duendes Carnival, which will begin its parades starting Sunday, February 2nd, at the “Atanasio Bonfiglio” Corsódromo.
Mayor Francisco Azcué stated that “the most important thing we have in this carnival are the members, the entire Los Pequeños Duendes family: every president, troupe, representative, and the children. You are the true protagonists. These parades that we are going to experience will be very beautiful; we are going to enjoy them and we are going to see our future generation shine.”
He also announced that throughout the year “we are going to work with Los Pequeños Duendes, with the troupes, in the neighborhoods, with different areas of the Municipality, and not only on issues inherent to the carnival, but also issues that have to do with education, sports, inclusion, and human development,” he admitted.
For his part, the Director of Cultural Resources, Innovation, and Communication of the Undersecretariat of Culture, Alejandro Rodríguez, stated, “there is a part that has an artistic sensitivity, which those of us who are artists know what it is about. In the neighborhoods where there are Los Pequeños Duendes troupes, there is solidarity, love, care, empathy, and respect for children, which is why the idea is to be able to work with them all year round, and we hope that more neighborhoods and more troupes will continue to join.”
