The Plaza de Chipude hosts tonight at 20:45 the official presentation of the poster and programme for the Chipude 2026 festivities, which include the anthem 'Pa' Chipude' and a historical documentary.
The Plaza de Chipude becomes the epicentre of Gomeran culture tonight with the official presentation of the poster and programme for the Chipude 2026 festivities. The event, scheduled for 20:45, marks the beginning of celebrations aimed at reinforcing the identity and traditions of the village under the slogan 'Chipude: Raíces que laten'.
The programme, the result of joint work between the Festivities Commission, the Vallehermoso Town Hall, and the Insular Council of La Gomera, incorporates significant new features. Among them is the launch of the official anthem, titled 'Pa' Chipude', which will have a music video designed to become a symbol of the locality. Additionally, a documentary will be screened that explores the history of Chipude through the testimonies of its residents.
The mayor of Vallehermoso, Emiliano Coello, has emphasised the importance of these festivities as a tool to highlight the history and sense of belonging of Chipude. 'They are an opportunity to strengthen our culture and traditions, thanks to the joint work of all institutions,' he stated.
The programme includes activities aimed at preserving cultural heritage, such as workshops on traditional Gomeran folklore and carpet making. These initiatives seek to promote intergenerational participation and strengthen the bond with the customs that have defined the history of the village.
The Vallehermoso Town Hall has invited residents and visitors to attend the presentation event and discover a programme that combines tradition, innovation, and participation. With these proposals, the Chipude festivities aim to establish themselves as one of the most relevant celebrations in La Gomera, attracting both residents and tourists interested in local culture.
Tonight's presentation will not only unveil the official poster but will also serve as a prelude to days of celebration that will focus on the roots and identity of the village. Attendees will be able to learn firsthand the details of a programme that bets on cultural dynamism and pride of belonging.
For those unable to attend, the Town Hall plans to disseminate the content through its official channels, so that the anthem and the documentary reach as many people as possible. Tonight's event promises to be the starting gun for festivities that, according to their organisers, will mark a before and after in the cultural life of Chipude.
