This weekend we definitely recommend you to come to the castle to attend the feast ofSanta Brigida in our neighbors of Vera del Moncayo (5 minutes by car), who have prepared a whole day of twinning with Ireland.
The patron saint of Vera de Moncayo, Santa Brigida, which takes place this weekend, is also the patron saint of Ireland. Throughout the day, local and Irish artists will offer performances for all audiences. On this occasion, the town council has organized various cultural events with local and Irish artists that will take place in different areas of the municipality throughout the day.
The program
The day will begin at 7.00 with the traditional aurora in honor of St. Brigida by the association Vera & Veruela in which participants will receive an explanation about the origin of this symbol and will continue at 10.00 with a workshop on crosses. After mass, there will be a musical and dance performance with the Irish artist Louise O Connor and the music group Na Cauce after which a vermouth has been organized.
In the afternoon, and after the wink championship, at 17.00 will be held in the church a special event that will combine the reading of Irish poems with musical performances by various local and Irish artists. The event will be presented by journalist Eva Pérez Sorribes.
At 19.00 the traditional bonfire will be lit, after which a dinner with Irish products can be enjoyed in the municipal pavilion to start the Vera Brigid Fest, after which there will be musical performances by Louise O Connor, the traditional music group Na Cauci and the pop artist with Irish roots Leslie Dowdall.
The aim is that this cultural meeting will serve to twin local artists with Irish artists and that both neighbors and visitors can enjoy an important part of that rich and broad culture.
