SUSPENDED MOST OF THE ACTS PLANNED FOR TODAY. THE MEIGAS WILL ATTEND TO THE FIRE OF SAN JUAN AND WILL PRESENT THEIR OFFERING TO THE VIRGIN OF THE ROSARY, PATRON OF THE CITY

Acts for today, June 23, St. John's Eve.

Today, June 23, the eve of San Juan, as a result of arbitrary prohibitions of the Tide Town Hall, the only events to be held are:

At 12.00 a.m., in the church of the Third Order (Plza de Carlos I, n / n), the fire of San Juan will be lit and blessed before the image of the saint.

Later, at 12.30 am, in the church of Santo Domingo, the President of the Association of Meigas and Meigas Mayor Infantil, will present the traditional offering to Our Lady of the Rosary, Patroness of our city.

At 18.00 hours, the Children's Major, Alba Rodríguez, will visit the Residencia de mayor Caser, where they will celebrate the feast of San Juan with the residents.

The rest of the events planned for this day are suspended due to the refusal of the City Council to authorize its celebration.

A long tradition, initiated in 1970, by the then Promoting Commission of the Bonfires of San Juan and followed, since 2014, by the Association of Meigas, both entities that, during the forty and seven years, have worked for the Celebration of the CORUñesas HOGUERAS , obtaining that they were declared, successively, Festival of Galicia of Tourist Interest (2000); Fiesta of National Tourist Interest (2003) and Festival of International Tourist Interest (2015); In addition to being the initiators of the campaign, in 2009, to ensure that on June 24, the feast of San Juan, was declared a local holiday.

Throughout these years, the two Entities have organized more than 5,000 events, all gratuitous, of a popular, cultural, sporting and social character; In addition to having proclaimed to 772 boys and girls Coruñesas like Meigas majors and infantile of San Juan.

Let Coruna know well who owes this folly that the only thing that has led to it is that the feast of San Juan is sad and shabby like all that that people assemble.
