A new commemoration of the 1939 earthquake will take place throughout the city on January 24. The meeting point is the Plaza de Armas at 9:00 PM, where registered attendees will receive a complimentary reflective backpack.
Following this, a heritage bicycle tour will visit significant sites associated with the event that changed the city forever. At each stop, an archival photograph showing the site at the time of the earthquake will be projected, accompanied by commentary from the guides. The bike tour will pass by the San Francisco Church, the Los Carmelitas Church, the Old Normal School, the San Juan de Dios Chapel, and the Market.
After the bike tour concludes, around 11:00 PM, a large-scale photographic exhibition will be inaugurated. The "Tres Tiempos" exhibition will document the city’s different states before, during, and after the earthquake. The exhibition will be on display in the city's main public square until January 26.
