The group will perform the traditional Conxuro da Queimada, the Galician ritual of Celtic origin that involves setting fire to aguardiente while reciting a spell to ward off evil spirits.
One of the highlights will be the performance by Las Cantareiras and the Banda de Gaitas de la Xuntanza de Galegos, who will present the traditional Conxuro da Queimada, followed by a tasting. Later, the Orquesta Pikante will liven up the evening with their music.
The torchlight parade, led by the Banda de Gaitas Jóvenes de la Xuntanza de Galegos, will precede the most anticipated moment: the jump over the San Juan Bonfire at 12:00 AM, a ritual that, according to tradition, brings good luck.
