ARCHIVED - Three Kings parades start to fall; Seville confirms cancellation of the grand cabalgata
Semana Santa and the huge April Feria are also under threat for 2021
The thorny topic of Christmas, New Year and Three Kings is being discussed in many town halls around Spain, as difficult decisions are taken to decide whether to prioritise the need to maintain social distancing and beat the coronavirus or to succumb to temptation and enjoy a festive party.
The big parades of the festive season in regional and provincial capitals across Spain are the highlight of the festive season, the huge Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos the most eagerly anticipated, families jamming into the streets solid for the feelgood parade of the festive season, but covid loves nothing more than thousands of people packed together in crowds and town halls are reluctantly trimming back their festive events to ensure that their residents are kept as safe as possible during the festive season.
Seville City Council has ratified the suspension of its annual Three Kings Parade, has ruled out any lighting or special spectacle in the Plaza de San Francisco, which is likely to cause a large concentration of people and has set December "at the latest" as the date on which a decision must be made about the huge April Fair and Semana Santa.
In 2020 Semana Santa everywhere was cancelled, and the same fate has awaited thousands of fiestas and cultural events right throughout the year.
The beleagured tourism sector has experienced a diastrous downturn in business this year due to the coronavirus crisis and these decisions will be critical for some hotels and tourism businesses, which depend on these fiestas to move thousands of tourists. Sevilla has one of the most famous Semana Santa celebrations in Spain and attracts huge crowds every year.
In a statement, the City Council explained that after a meeting of the mayor of Seville, Juan Espadas (PSOE), with the Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, a meeting had been held with the president of the Athenaeum, Alberto Máximo Pérez Calero, and the delegate of the Interior and Major Festivities, Juan Carlos Cabrera, during which the decision not to celebrate the traditional Cavalcade of the Magi this Christmas had been ratified .
The Mayor considers that in December there may be "enough data to make important decisions for next year."
