LUNCH AND DINNER GROUPS

FEsta na carballeira

Group of friends in the Empanada Festival.

On Saturday, after the empanada contest and the opening speech, the Empanada Oak Grove is filled with 10,000 people for a large meal and dinner of gangs. The gangs are made up of families or friends who decide to come together and bring empanadas, drinks, and other Galician gastronomy products to enjoy a day of fun and party.

The gangs´meal begins at 15:00 h and is enlivened by musical groups who are responsible for setting the party mood before the orchestras, which typically start in the late afternoon. At night, at 22:00h, the gangs gather again in the oak grove for the grand Groups' Dinner, which serves as a prelude to the party night. The truth is that the music never stops on this day.
