FESTIVALS
The festivities, as in most small towns, are lived in a very special and intense way. They are days when work is left aside and all efforts and energy are dedicated to enjoying them and meeting friends and family who come to spend a few days. Caseres stands out for the spirit of the festivities and the desire that people have to have a good time when these dates arrive. We can highlight:
In January the Feast of “SANT ANTONI”
The weekend closest to January 17th is celebrated the “SANT ANTONI” Festival (Saturday and Sunday). This festival is very popular in the town, as all the neighbours get together and in each street of the town they set up large bonfires, where afterwards everyone eats grilled meat and sausages together. Afterwards there is a dance with an orchestra until the early hours of the morning. On Sunday, with a bit of a hangover, the Auction at the Bonfire in the Square is organised where everyone buys what they want to help (pastry, cakes, pastries, etc.)
In July “SAINT MAGDALENA”
The weekend closest to July 22nd is the celebration of “SANTA MAGDALENA” who is the patron saint of the town of Caseres (Friday and Saturday). On Friday the town hall organises a popular sardine festival for the whole town at the Pista with dancing. On Saturday morning the festival is celebrated with mass and a procession through the streets of the town. In the afternoon there is a football match or some activity and in the evening there is a dance session with an orchestra.
In August the main festivals of Caseres
The third weekend of August, the one closest to August 20, is the “Main Festival of Caseres” in honour of the patron saint San Gil. There are four days in a row (from Friday to Monday) of popular celebration with different activities, dances and games for everyone, adults and children.
