The feast itself represents a solemn Mass, with music, choirs and Galician bagpipes. The huge incense burner, the botafumeiro, is swung in the cathedral. The feast falls in the middle of Santiago's folklore festival, a two week celebration of Galician culture, with street music, parades, concerts and markets.
