Until July 25 that is celebrated in the town the patron saint Santiago Apóstol, with a mass and procession in his honor, there are still several important appointments for visitors and neighbors with concerts and shows every night in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
However, it was last weekend when the municipality registered a record number in affluence.
Thus, on Saturday it is estimated that almost 10,000 people visited Lorquí on the occasion of the Parade and Float Parade, in which the dance troupes filled the streets of the town with rhythm and color, and the free concert at the Parque de la Constitución del Venezuelan artist Carlos Baute, who attracted some 8,000 people.
"Many years ago Lorquí did not live a night like last Saturday, in which not only the neighbors took to the streets to enjoy the activities, but also visitors from different parts of the Region of Murcia came. This would be one of the strong points of the festivities program, but reality has exceeded all our expectations, which is why we are very happy, "said the mayor of Lorquí, Joaquín Hernández.
In addition, he took the opportunity to emphasize that everything went smoothly and without serious incidents to regret, for which he thanked the action and coordination between the security forces: Civil Guard and Local Police and Civil Protection and Red Cross volunteers, and the attitude of the people congregated in the municipality.
