It is organized according to a particular organizational model between the groups (since 2002, the Federation Bilboko Konpartsak) and the council of Bilbao. The origin of this model was the organization of a competition of ideas by El Corte Inglés -through Kiko Mochales - for the festival, which was awarded with hundred thousand pesetas, in order to organize a new model that was participatory and would revitalize the decrepit and poor Great Week of Francoism. The competition was won by the project presented by Txomin Barullo, currently one of the pioneers group of Bilbao, and consisted of a shared organization between the council and the festival groups, festive character troupes from different districts of Bilbao and representing different socio-political sensibilities of the time. The first event of the festival is the release of the chupinazo, also known as the initial rocket, which has taken place since 2001 in the Arriaga's theatre square. This includes the initial rocket launch by the txupinera, and the reading of the proclamation by the town crier or herald. In 1980, then-Mayor Jon Castañares (PNV) decided that the council would organize the Great Week alone. Given the boycott of the groups, which did not install their fair booths, known as txosnas, nor participated in any act, the council withdrew and the festival week of 1981 resumed the collaborative model of 1978. In 1983, the Great Week had to be suspended due to severe flooding caused by the overflow of the Nervion-Ibaizábal. On July 2, 2009 the festival was chosen as one of the 10+2 Intangible Cultural Heritage Treasures of Spain, getting first place in the classification. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aste Nagusia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
