La Semana Valdiviana
Valdiviana Week, or La Semana Valdiviana, is a festival held near Northern Patagonia's magnificent lake district. It is located along the Calle-Calle River's banks in the lovely town of Valdivia, on the Pacific coast.
La Semana Valdiviana is a summer festival that includes a one-of-a-kind floating parade. Valdivia people celebrate the creation of their city on February 9, 1552 in the festival of La Semana Valdiviana in southern Chile, an area of lakes and thousand-year-old trees.
Every year on February 9, a slew of watercraft fill the river, enthralling Valdivians and visitors from all around Chile and the world. The garlanded ships compete for the title of most opulent vessel, and the backdrop is ideal for crowning the Queen of All Rivers. The event concludes with a fireworks show, as people enjoy street entertainment, dining, and drinking beer along the riverfront, the latter being a reminder of the cultural influence of German immigrants who began arriving in the region in the 1800s.
