The vibrant festivities of La Blanca in Vitoria kicked off on August 4, 2024, with the much-anticipated appearance of Celedón, now embodied by debutant Iñaki Kerejazu.

The event began with the traditional Chupinazo and the descent of Celedón, drawing cheers from a packed Plaza de la Virgen Blanca.

Kerejazu completed the iconic run across the plaza in an impressive 2 minutes and 47 seconds, just shy of the record set by his predecessor.

The celebrations include a variety of activities for all ages, with a special focus on children, featuring giants, cabezudos, and an adventure space filled with games and entertainment.

The festivities promise to be a memorable experience, emphasizing community spirit and safety, as Kerejazu called for respect and enjoyment during the celebrations.
