- Organisers have opened registrations and ticket sales for participatory elements such as communal meals, troupe parades and bertsolari shows, and they are managing volunteer rosters for logistics and safety.
- Popular music lineups have been announced for multiple towns with named bands and DJs set to perform in Orio and Zumaia while local groups and trikitixas supply daytime programming.
- Councils are emphasising respect and anti‑misogyny messages, offering accessibility or allergy‑aware menus, and using festival planning as a way to promote inclusion in small towns facing rising diversity.
