January 20 is the most anticipated holiday for the residents of San Sebastian, because it marks the beginning of the Tamborradas which are celebrated in recognition of San Sebastian Day. The Tamborradas consist of almost a hundred different marching bands that will alternate parading through the city playing the town's song for an entire 24 hours. The processions will take you back in time 200 years and you will feel the Basque's passion for their ancient culture.
There will be parties throughout the night with scheduled events and a variety of activities. This tradition has grown more popular throughout the years and although it's origin is unclear, it is thought to have it's roots in the Carlist Wars era of the early 19th century. At the end of the 24 hour party, the festivities are brought to an end with the lowering of the flag at midnight as the marching bands, las Tamboreadas, play the city's anthem while everyone sings along to the rhythm of the drums.
