Good weather accompanied yesterday the second day of Come to Santa Cruza second delivery promoted by the City Council and the Development Society in the first weekend of revitalization activities after the pandemic.
This Sunday’s program was aimed especially at children, and during the morning it offered parades, workshops and activities with children’s characters that filled the center of the capital with a festive atmosphere that had not been experienced for a long time.
The activities took place in different locations in the city center, such as the Plaza del Príncipe or the Alameda del Duque Santa Elena. The programming lasted from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and included face-painting workshops and juice tastings in Plaza del Chicharro; children’s entertainment performances in the Plaza del Príncipe, and children’s workshops and bouncy castles in the toy library located in the Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena. This Sunday program was complemented by parades through Imeldo Serís, Castillo Street, as well as in the surroundings of the Bulevar Park and Plaza de San Francisco.
As assessed by the mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, “this revitalization program, which returns after two years, is a successful initiative in the past and therefore its suitability is proven, while helping us to give it a boost business to the city. He explained that “these actions, which we started through the Recovery Table, are the product of permanent contact with social agents and contribute effectively to economic recovery and the local productive fabric.”
The mayor announced that it is intended to repeat these days of the Come to Santa Cruz not only in the center of the city but also in the neighbourhoods, so that between now and the end of the year different activities will be organized by the City Council and the Development Society, and in collaboration with the different districts and neighborhoods of the capital.
The councilor of the Development Society, Alfonso Cabello, stressed that one of the novelties of this edition of Come to Santa Cruz was “the incentive of the Consumer Bonds.” In fact, he indicated that on Saturday, in just three hours, 4,000 were sold.
Cabello recalled that “this initiative to revitalize Come to Santa Cruz is a clear example of the success of public-private collaboration” and highlighted the valuable collaboration of sponsors such as Fundación Dinosol, Fundación Cepsa, Fundación la Caixa, Grupo Domingo Alonso, Mutua Tenerife, Kid&Us, Caser, Libbys and Century 21 Aguere, in addition to the collaboration of Fuentealta.
