The return of activity to the streets of Santa Cruz is one of the great bets of the Santa Cruz City Council to boost the economy and boost consumption. The big municipal bet is the celebration of Full Moon, which will take place the first weekend of December, as confirmed to DIARIO DE AVISOS by the councilor delegate of the Development Society, Alfonso Cabello. “The uncertainty about the development of the pandemic and the levels of restriction was creating us a lot of insecurity, so we preferred to delay the date of October 31, which we had initially considered, to go to the first weekend of December ”. This date coincides precisely with the beginning of the Constitution Bridge, so the idea of attracting people to the capital is reinforced. Although they are still working on the program that is going to be developed, they have already outlined the supports on which they want to rotate this day of revitalization and that will have multiple activities in the street.
Cabello explains that “we are preparing a program marked by theater companies, music, crafts and commercial support, all of this distributed throughout a dozen enclaves of the city, which translate into some 23 stages in which Activities will be developed simultaneously, and among which are included the spaces of the Guimerá Theater, La Recova and the Museum of Fine Arts ”. “We want Plenilunio to be the turning point where the streets are once again conquered for activities and revitalization,” added the also party councilor.
Carnival
Precisely in that objective of recovering the streets is the celebration of Carnival, whose extension in the street continues in We will see. Precisely, tomorrow, a new meeting will take place between the Government of the Canary Islands and the municipalities of Santa Cruz and Las Palmas to specify specific measures that allow, for example, to determine the way in which the groups can return to rehearsals on the next 1 of November, as advanced in the first meeting held last week. Cabello intends to meet with all the Carnival groups on the same Wednesday afternoon, at the Fairgrounds, to convey to them the decision that has been made in the morning. He has summoned the groups at different times to comply with the regulations in force.
The mayor of Fiestas had already advanced the need to modify the bases of the contests to adapt to normality post COVID, as well as for the groups to designate a COVID manager who is in charge of complying with the regulations that apply both in the tests as in the Carnival performances.
The meetings with the children’s groups will take place on Thursday, whose trials, as the mayor admits, is what worries him the most since they are the only group that is not vaccinated. The mayor trusts that, once the dialogue with the Government of the Canary Islands has been opened, times will accelerate.
