The Feria Chica de Palencia will offer more than 60 activities for all audiences and ages in a program that will host crafts, concerts, gastronomy, street arts, culture or sports from June 2 to 5. All this in order to give a boost of dynamism to the city, in addition to promoting tourism and hospitality in a Small Fair that becomes a “bigger” bet, said the mayor of the capital, Mario Simón.
During his presentation, he pointed out that all the spaces used regularly before the pandemic are recovering their splendor, where the Salón park takes on special prominence by hosting the concerts by Los Secretos and Ana Guerra.
It is a program, launched by the Department of Culture, Tourism and Festivals, which reflects “affection, dedication and intensity”, with the aim of enjoying again so that the people of Palencia forget about the past years because of the Covid adds Simon.
The mayor of Fiestas, Laura Lombraña, emphasizes that some already consolidated appointments are maintained, such as the Ceramics Show, which returns to Calle Mayor with a total of 20 exhibitors. In addition, this year, regular activities will be resumed, such as demonstrations and the ‘Manuel Ceinos’ prize for ceramics with the participation of professionals.
There will also be the Old and Second-hand Book Fair on the Paseo de la Salón, where the attending booksellers make available to the public the most varied offers of varied copies, whose prices range from one euro to the most coveted old books, the dream of Bibliophiles ( First editions, Incunabula, Original manuscripts, Engravings, rare editions, remnants of editions, paper collectors, second-hand books, etc.).
The Huerta Guardián park will host a new edition of the ‘Palencia Food Truck Festival’ on June 3, 4 and 5, “This is an original and quality gastronomic initiative that will feature several ‘food trucks’, workshops , music and market”, Lombraña clarified and the Salón park will be recovered as a concert stage.
Thus, on Friday, June 3, Los Secretos will perform with their ‘Recovering Emotions’ tour to offer a tremendously optimistic show. The next day, it will be Ana Guerra’s turn to fill the Salón park with music. The artist, who has become one of the singers of the moment and a new benchmark for youth due to her commitment to social causes, presents her tour in the capital ‘whispering what I never told you’.
