The photo exhibition of Ezpata Dantzariak, organized by the dance group Sahatsa to celebrate its 50th anniversary, is now open at the Betharram exhibition hall.

The dance group traversed the streets of Azkoitia, Azpeitia, and Urrestilla in June and July with their sword dance performance. The photographs now on display were taken by photographers Alex Berasategi and Amets Andueza during those three days.
The exhibition will be open until September 27th. It can be visited on weekdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and on weekends, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
In addition to the exhibition opening, Sahatsa is holding the 'Sahatsa 50' festival this weekend. It will be presented tomorrow afternoon in the main square of Azkoitia (at 6:30 PM), and the same show will be offered next Saturday, the 26th, in the main square of Azpeitia.
This festival will feature dances not only from Gipuzkoa but also from Navarre, Lapurdi, and Lower Navarre. Approximately 70 people will participate in total, including current members and former dancers, in a performance lasting about an hour.
