The parade first walked through the Calle Pedro Clisante, then stopped for a few minutes at the park with the flags where a speech was given and some flowers revealed as a memorial.

The procession then went to the helicopter field.
Two stands had been set up on the field.
The first one was used as a platform for the mayor and other representatives from where they had a good view on the other platform in front.
This second platform was used by all participating groups to make their appearance and entertain the audience with a demonstration.
In previous years the main Pedro Clisante was turned into a free market with many booths and children's games after the parade.
The management of restaurant Jolly Rogers organized this festival every year.
This year they did not organize it because they were busy with other things but also because they received too little support from the other businesses in the street.
