O Municipality of Poor Brollón signed, on February 21, agreement with Salcedo Residents Association for the celebration of Salcedo Carnival. The agreement states that among the “competences of the City Council is the support, development and dissemination of culture in all its extension, with special attention to that which has a traditional character and which, from the scope of the city council, extends its impact outside of it, contributing to spreading its name beyond its limits and being a point of attraction for visitors”.
Among these activities, the Salcedo Carnival is highlighted as one of the most outstanding, “with a centuries-old tradition and with a wide impact outside the City Council”. And it is specified that among the many activities it includes, the Salcedo's Bear, whose impact exceeds the borders of the Autonomous Community.
For its part, the Neighbors' Association states that many of the activities require new material or clothing, as is the case with the costumes of madams and dancers and the clothing of the Bear and his servants, elements that deteriorate over time and need to be renewed.
The agreement states that the City Council of A Pobra do Brollón collaborates in this exercise, with a contribution of 1,500 euros for the organization of the Carnival. In addition to the agreement that has just been signed, the City Council of A Pobra do Brollón provides 1,000 euros so that the Organizing Committee can cover the expenses of the electric group.
