The day's festivities begin with a solemn mass at the Ermita de Santa Lucía, the village chapel. This is followed by a procession through Tazo, accompanied by chácaras and drums. Chácaras are the metal rattles that are a traditional feature of festivals and processions on La Gomera.
After the church services, the festivities continue with folk dances, accompanied by local bands. Locals and visitors alike are invited to join in the dancing. Depending on the year, there may be additional activities such as clay pigeon shooting.
