Turpín emphasized that "this is a project, the mayor's personal idea, born with great humility because its first edition will feature a simple program of activities, but with the aim of expanding and expanding its recreational and cultural offerings in future editions. The festival aims to highlight the beauty of autumn in our region."
For his part, the mayor concluded by clarifying that "the idea is for Ciezans and tourists alike to enjoy our culture, our heritage, and our nature throughout all four seasons. We were yet to discover autumn, and this festival was born with the aspiration of making it the centerpiece."
