Bilbao's Big Week 2025 begins - Spain

Several Ertzaintza officers during the start of the Semana Grande de Bilbao 2025, at the Arriaga Theater, on August 16, 2025, in Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country (Spain). Bilboko Aste Nagusia is Bilbao's main festival, held annually for nine days starting on the Saturday following August 15. The beginning of the festival is marked by the reading of the proclamation and the launching of the txupín (rocket) by the txupinera. Moments later, the great Marijaia appears on the balcony, a fictitious character whose name means lady of the festivities, who will preside over the town's festivities until she is burned on the last day.
