August was a month in which joy and celebration were the main protagonists thanks to the start of local fairs; However, in September it is possible to continue celebrating thanks to the numerous popular festivals that will be held in the city until October 13 and which began on June 1st.
The delegate of Festivities and Traditions, Julián Urbano, reported this Friday on the upcoming festivities that will take place in the capital. First, Urbano indicated that this year there have already been 5 of the 21 celebrations planned this yearfigures that exceed 9 celebrations compared to last year. “The increase is seven additional requests from brotherhoods, one more from a club federated to the Federation of Clubs and one more from a neighborhood association,” noted the delegate.
In order to expand these festivals and make them more accessible to the people of Córdoba, priority has been given, as a novelty, that “the festivals are not all concentrated in the historic center, but rather the real protagonists the neighborhoods. All these new requested festivals practically all take place in the neighborhoods of Cordoba and not in the historic center. With which, we also give a very wide coverage to this need that the citizen movement has always had.
Location of festivals
To meet the objective of reaching every corner of the capital, some of the festivals that will take place in the coming days are as follows:
–Brotherhood of Our Lady of Rocío: Miraflores Gardens

–Peña Friends of Viñuela: Viñuela Avenue
