The children's tamborrada in Azkoitia will hold its final rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday at the Gurea fronton, starting at 7:00 PM, in preparation for the grand parade on Saturday.

Members of the Tata and Umore Ona groups are already prepared for the tamborrada, which will commence on Saturday, April 13, at 5:00 PM. Before the main event, final preparations will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, at 7:00 PM, at the Gurea fronton, as is customary.
The tamborrada will follow the same route as last year. The drummers will depart from the plaza, descend to Balda square where they will make a stop. From there, they will proceed along Ibaiondo street to the church atrium and then back to the plaza. After a second stop, they will head to the Umore Ona society for a snack. Once refreshed, they will go to the Gurea Fronton, where the celebration will conclude.
This year's float will be dedicated to the Sahatsa dance group, as the ensemble celebrates its 50th anniversary. The tamborrada participants wish to acknowledge their long-standing contribution to the transmission of Basque culture. Accordingly, the LH1 children participating on the float will be dressed as dantzaris, but no further details related to the float have been released.
