January 20 is the day of the Feast of San Sebastian. This festival is organized by the brotherhood of San Sebastian since 1892. San Sebastián is the patron saint of Somontín and his feast day, January 20, is extended to the following day, the feast of Santa Inés.
The day of San Sebastian, and in places of the Basque geography as Donostia and Azpeitia resounds already for weeks the 'rataplán' of thousands of drums that rehearse the pieces of the traditional tamborrada. Also from the Diaspora, numerous Basques and euskal etxeas will join the party spreading the echo of the drums and the music of Sarriegi in places like Argentina, Venezuela, USA, Canada, Andorra or Mexico.
Donostia is getting ready to celebrate its big day, January 20, the day of San Sebastian, the most beloved and awaited by the people of Donostia. The tamborrada of the day of San Sebastian is the most participatory party of the capital of Gipuzkoa, in which about ten percent of the Donostiarras plays the drum or barrel, as appropriate, in any of the nearly one hundred tamborradas organized in different neighborhoods of the city.
