The Sanjuandegi festivities will be held the first weekend of June, but prior to that, there will be numerous events, including Children's Day and a bertsolari dinner.

XJ Auzolaneanek has prepared this year's Sanjuandegi festivities program. As every year, the celebrations will take place on the first weekend of June, but before that, there will also be events; among others, on the last Saturday of May, Children's Day will be held, and on the eve of the festivities, there will be a bertsolari dinner, a mus tournament, and concerts.
Mantangorri will arrive in the neighborhood on Friday, June 5th, and the festivities will officially begin with its descent. As it is Youth Day, there will be a dinner in the evening, followed by a performance by members of the Jose Mari Orbegozo dance school. On the tent stage, additionally, the groups Istilu, Verrater, and Laket will offer concerts, while local DJs will be playing music at the txosna.
The festival committee has also organized a series of events for the Neighborhood Day. Specifically, in addition to a chess tournament, a judo exhibition, and a txakoli tasting, there will be a concert by the Municipal Music Band until noon. Afterwards, a neighborhood meal will be held, followed by a Trikifree performance and a barbecue in the afternoon. Music will be the protagonist at night: Lukiek and Ezpalak will take the main stage. In the tent and the txosna, DJs will be performing.
Although it is the last day of the festivities, there will be plenty to do and enjoy on Sunday as well. In the morning, there will be a performance by young dancers and a craft fair. There will also be a novelty: the bull will be featured in the afternoon instead of the morning. This will be followed by a rural sports festival, and the festivities will conclude with Mantangorri's farewell event.
