Preparations have begun in Coquimbo for “La Pampilla de la gente,” after Mayor Alí Manouchehri reversed his decision to suspend the celebration following the storm that affected the region.
The mayor described this year’s event as both a solidarity effort and a push for local reactivation. The municipality says it is coordinating with the government to prepare a safe venue for families attending the four days of Chilean national holiday celebrations.
This is a Pampilla with a solidarity component, because we will support the residents most affected, but it also has a reactivation component.
The traditional parade will take place at La Pampilla’s oval on Sept. 16. Coquimbo’s municipal council has allocated 800 million pesos for the event.
We want to continue strengthening this joint coordination with the government so we can welcome all the families who come to enjoy themselves, have a good time and feel safe in a space that we have been working on as a municipality to put in optimal condition.
