The Virgin makes her entrance on July 15 with the celebrations starting at noon with fireworks and Camaretazos. The tolling of the bells announces the entrance and parade of bands and typical orchestras with Dianas .

The Sanctuary of the Virgen del Carmen glows and people crowd around imploring with their prayers while the different pageants and quadrilles start their parade from different points; some arrive on horseback, some by car; many more come by foot.

The parade is headed by the priest, the women walking on one side and the men at the other, bearing the "voladoras" or small angels beautifully decorated, the candles, and flowers in bottles filled with water of different colors, and escorted by the pageants to the beat of the music band and "pasacalle" dancing.

The reception is held at the home of the "carguyoc" where typical pottages are served. At night, the merrymaking moves over to the main square where the "qonoy" bonfire takes place with the festive burning of fireworks and the participation of all the dance groups .
