Bilbao SAIL FOR DIVERSITY

The city of Bilbao celebrates Bilbao Bizkaia Pride June 21-24. But from August 18-26, the main festival of the Biscayan capital, Aste Nagusia (“Big Week” in English), takes place: Ten consecutive days of joy with a specific proposal dedicated to diversity. Whether for its open and diverse character, its daytime, afternoon and night program- ming or for the endearing and energetic Marijaia , symbol of the festival, living the moment in which Bilbao celebrates itself is a unique experience that you have to try.

Parades, concerts (free of charge!), culinary competitions, activities for families of all kinds, music and fun, sports, exhibitions… each person chooses their own Aste Nagu- sia . Come and become its protagonist.
