Local Fiestas in Balsicas
Fiestas in Balsicas are held in honour of the Virgen del Rosario
The fiestas of the patron saint of Balsicas are held in October to honour the Virgen del Rosario, as in Torre Pacheco itself.
As a result care is taken to make sure that the two fiesta seasons don’t coincide, with the day itself being celebrated in Torre Pacheco on 7th October.
The main aim of those organizing the fiestas in Balsicas is to ensure that all the inhabitants are included, and as a result there are concerts for young people, classical music for older generations and fairgrounds for children.
The religious side of the Fiestas de la Virgen del Rosario includes a procession in which the image of the virgen is carried around the town, and a special Mass, where the choir and other churchgoers wear typical traditional costumes.
