Folklore

On the 6th of July, one hour and half after the start of the Festival, there is a folklore show which takes place at the Plaza de los Fueros. Lots of different traditional Basque dances can be seen with groups from Pamplona and other parts of Navarra.

Nearly every day (Check the official programme) at the same open-air venue, there is a performance of traditional Basque rural sports on show. It's not very often that you can get the chance to see such a variety of these rural sports at the same time. There are "aizkolariak" (lumber-jacks), "harrijasotzaileak"(a contest of weight-lifting with heavy stone boulders), "Txingas" and other such events.

In the Media Luna Park there are some days performances in the afternoon, all of the related to the basque culture. Everything from traditional basque singing -"bertsolariak" - where songs are spontaneously invented and sung on contemporary social themes of the day. Another day will have "txistus" - where there is a concert with the caracteristic tradiotional basque flute. At that time in the Paseo Sarasate there will be "jotas" some days -popular traditional songs from the south of Navarra-. Every day at 20'30 other regions are represented in El Bosquecillo; music and dances from Andalucía, Galicia, Extremadura, etc.
