How La Plata celebrates 31st December by Adults 3 - Prof. Betina Miralles


 The collage shows one of the oldest celebrations in La Plata: The burning of dolls at night on 31st December. People build the dolls of cardboard, paper and wood, inside the dolls people hide fireworks. In the night of December 31st, in the early hours of the January 1st, the dolls are burned up and the fireworks are lighted and illuminate this night of celebration. Several months before that night people start to think about what character or subject will be represented. Just then the construction begins. This celebration is an institution in the city, every year the municipality of La Plata rewards those who built the best doll of the city with a cash prize.

Adults 3 B- Prof. Julieta Amorabieta

    The 19th of November, the city of La Plata remembers its birthday. It was founded in 1882 by Dardo Rocha, who was the governor of Buenos Aires. The idea to create a new city was born when the politicians decided to separate the capital city of the country from the capital city of the 
Buenos Aires.

  


The most important buildings and the outline of the city was designed by Pedro Benoit following the concepts at that moment.

    Every year the city makes several and popular parties to celebrate its foundation. The events include famous singers who usually sing against thousands of people in the Moreno square. After that, to end the night, a big firework show lights the dark sky.
    A curious tip: during the party of its 100 years, a big cake was made and distributed among the public.
