This day, is a benefic act. It is always celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of October; this year it was on 21st of October. It is benefic because it is to raise money for Basque schools.
The day started at nine o’clock more or less, and finished at around nine o’clock; so, the party lasted for 12 hours. In the morning when people arrive there, they start walking by the way.
In the way, there are seven different areas, where there are different concerts during the day. You can choose which you prefer and you can go and listen to it.
There are not restaurants, so if you don’t want to buy there any sandwich, you have to take one from your home.
This day is so beautiful for Basque people, because you can meet people from other places and you can become their frieds.

Saint John Bosco is a party celebrated in our school.
This day we do many things like football championships or a show…
In the show students take part acting, doing different things, like imitations, dances…
Saint John Bosco day is the last day of school before the Christmas holydays.
Students love this day, because it is a very hapy party.
But the party doesn’t end after school, people after school stay at the bars and dances.
Only our school celebrates the Saint John Bosco’s day.
