Scheduled · August 8–15, 2026 · Donostia / San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa
For Mexican PR teams with a Basque footprint, corporate sponsors, international hospitality and Mexican journalists covering the Aste Nagusia — staff uniforms, hand-out giveaways, press kits and local partner gifts, all priced in MXN, invoiced under CFDI 4.0, and delivered to your Donostia hotel or the program venue.
Semana Grande de Donostia, also known in Basque as Aste Nagusia and officially Donostiako Aste Nagusia 2026, is the headline celebration on Donostia calendar. The 2026 edition runs from Saturday August 8 to Saturday August 15 and packs four hundred and sixteen activities across thirty venues in the city, with stages in Alderdi Eder, the Boulevard, La Concha bay, Plaza Tomás Alba (Sagüés), Zurriola beach, the Port, the Kursaal, Plaza de la Constitución and Plaza Virgen del Coro. The program keeps the festival classics (giants and cabezudos, herri kirolak, international fireworks competition, toro de fuego, Sagüés concerts) and folds the parks of Cristina Enea, Aiete, Ametzagaina, Urgull and Ulia into the official program, alongside live-music dances for “¡La tarde se baila!” on the Kursaal terrace, the historical recreation ‘Guretara’ and the new gastronomy contest “Kokotxas al pil-pil”.
For Mexican PR teams with a Basque footprint, corporate sponsors or international hospitality groups accompanying a local ally at Alderdi Eder or on the Boulevard, and Mexican journalists covering the festival, the Donostia Aste Nagusia is a serious time investment — but the merch you hand out has to read serious, light, and bilingual to work in a city where Spanish and Basque are official languages, English is the lingua franca of the international press, and the right signal is respect for the cañonazo tradition from the Ayuntamiento, Saturday night's toro de fuego, the giants and cabezudos parade out of the San Telmo museum and the Quincena Musical which this year brings Grigory Sokolov to the Kursaal on Thursday 13.
Mexican teams usually split their booth or participation program across four production tracks: staff uniforms sized for sponsors, corporate PR and hospitality rotating across the eight days; hand-out giveaways tuned to the Boulevard, Alderdi Eder, Sagüés and La Concha bay; press kits reserved for interviews with European and Latin American journalists covering the inaugural cañonazo, the partial solar eclipse on Wednesday 12 and Saturday farewell; and local partner gifts reserved for allies and second-tier sponsors with whom the brand wants a real next step.
For Mexican PR teams shipping kit from CDMX, Guadalajara or a Miami routing hub, the freight question is what decides everything. A consolidated shipment with the booth backline, usually through a freight forwarder with a sea route to Bilbao or Barcelona and final road transport to Donostia via the AP-8 or GI-20, is the cheapest option but ties your delivery window to the ferry schedule and Donostia high hotel season. Most programs we work on split the shipment: base apparel and giveaways consolidated, press and partner boxes flying under their own purchase order so a named concierge at a Centro hotel — Hotel María Cristina or Hotel de Londres — can sign for them. That second leg is where CFDI 4.0 with the payments complement comes in; we issue it on the Mexican side so your customs broker has clean paperwork from TOLUCA, AICM or a US gateway.
The regulatory and IP bar on Semana Grande merch is strict. The labelling that reaches Alderdi Eder or the Boulevard has to respect the Ayuntamiento and Donostiako Festak image rights, the municipal and beach venue rules, and the regulator guidance of the operator country of origin and of the destination market. We work your artwork against those frameworks and against the local sponsor manual. That pre-flight review is what keeps the sponsor legal team comfortable when the booth goes up on August 7.
For Mexican PR teams that also run European operations through a partner in Bilbao, Madrid or Barcelona, we can coordinate the European leg with a local fulfilment house while keeping the tax calculation and the CFDI 4.0 master in Mexico. That dual production lets Mexican PR shops tap Bilbao or Madrid workshops for fast mid-week repeats, while reserving heavy manufacturing for the Mexican hub with scale economics and clean fiscal traceability. The sixteen percent VAT line stays clean and the vendor list stays single-source.

Lanyards, tote bags, pens and bottles sized for fast hand-out on the Boulevard, Sagüés, La Concha bay and the international hospitality receptions.
Notebooks and accessories packaged in Spanish, English and French, reserved for European and Latin American journalists covering the inaugural cañonazo, the Kursaal concerts and Saturday's farewell.
Premium drinkware and compact boxes built per name for allies and local hospitality the Mexican brand wants to keep in its relationship field in Gipuzkoa.
Before you start production, lock down artwork, Pantone references, quantities, packaging and a named on-site consignee — whether on the Boulevard, at your Centro hotel or at the sponsor's space. Delivery rules, dock windows and accreditations need to be checked against the organizer guide and against the Donostia municipal guide; the venue is not a public courier drop-off. For teams routing kit from Mexico via a US hub, add a buffer for customs paperwork and clearance, and a buffer at the Donostia or Bilbao hotel concierge usually pairs well with the direct drop-off for the day-of hand-out overflow.
Six to eight weeks is the safe window when production runs in Mexico and the freight leg runs to Donostia. The Aste Nagusia has a fixed calendar (August 8–15), so planning runs against a clear deadline and the window can be tighter if you confirm stock and vendors in writing.
Only when the organizer or the sponsor's space has confirmed the dock slot, dock access and the named consignee. Most Mexican teams split the shipment between the sponsor's space and a named concierge at their Centro or La Concha hotel who can sign for the press boxes and the overflow.
Yes. We coordinate apparel produced in Mexico with finishing and fulfilment through Laredo or McAllen, keeping the master purchase order and the CFDI 4.0 master in Mexico. The European final leg runs through Bilbao or Madrid with a regional partner; the sixteen percent VAT line stays clean and the vendor list stays single-source.
