Noise, color and emotion. This is how San Lorenzo 2025 has begun in Huesca. They passed a few minutes from 12.00 when the DJ and producer Oscense Andrés Campo turned on the rocket fuse from the town hall balcony. A dry burst broke the sky and, instantly, the Cathedral Square became a sea of green scarves, screams and music that resonated throughout the historic center.
The expectation felt from hours before. Charangas, songs and drums marked the pulse of a crowded square, dressed in white and green and with the aroma of basil floating in the air. From El Balcon Huesca, which gave way to the most anticipated moment.
Andrés Campo has been in charge of lighting the rocket fuse that furrowed the sky, has declared a deafening roar in the square. Trumpet, drums and applause were intertwined with the unanimous cry of “Long live San Lorenzo! And live Huesca!”, While the smoke was mixed with the wine that ran from hand to hand but also by some head, bathing everything of red color. In the Plaza de Navarra, a giant screen loudly broadcast the proclamation and chupinazo. After this, the ride will travel the streets with the batucada Samba Norte, the charangas of the Oscenses Recreational Peñas and the sound animation 54, organized by the Recreational Peña 10 d’O August.
The chupinazo thus marks the start of seven days of party that will dye in white and green every corner of the city until August 15 when, in tears, the Oscense fire their employer until next year.
The day, however, had started much earlier. On the only day of the year in which early it does not cost, the traditional lunch with eggs and sausage, sausage, bacon or ham gathered Oscenses and visitors from the early morning in the bars of the city. At 10.45, the Justice Hall of the Consistorial Palace hosted the delivery of the city’s gold medal to the Olimpia Theater and the Ibercaja Foundation. Before the fervor began for the beginning of the proclamation.
