The 7th of April will be the Floral Offering to the Patroness of the City, the Blessed Virgin of Charity, which is made every year as is traditional on Friday Dolores.
The Council of Festivities of the City of Cartagena coordinates the participation of all citizens who want to take part in the parade and later offer at the Church of Charity, which they must do in the typical costume of Cartagena.
Registration for both associations and groups, as well as for people who wish to participate by free, as well as for bands of horns and drums or any other musical formation that wants to join the parade, will be open until March 24.
Participants not belonging to associations will be placed in the group that closes the parade on behalf of the City of Cartagena.
The floral offerings that this group would like to make will be of a personal nature.
ORDER OF THE PARADE
Once the registration deadline has finished, the Department of Festivities will facilitate the order of parade so that the groups and bands of music that are registered are distributed.
This distribution can be consulted on the municipal website.
As was done last year, in addition to the baskets of flowers that are wished to carry, bouquets will be placed in the supports installed for this purpose on both sides of the entrance to the Church of the Charity.
This can be done throughout the day, whether you participate or not in the parade.
The parade prior to the offering will be concentrated in the Town Hall Square at 4:30 p.m., and the offering will be released half an hour later, at 5:00 p.m.
The itinerary will run along Calle Mayor, San Sebastian Square, Murcia Gate, Sagasta Street, Tolosa Latour Street, Carmen Street, Santa Florentina Street, Park Street, López Pinto Square, and Serreta Street to finish in The Church of Charity.
