- 20:30 - Serenade for fathers who are present and fathers who have died
Sunday, June 21
The Sunday program moves to the morning:

Why This May Be Worth Knowing
Even if you do not plan to attend, the schedule is useful if you live near the cemetery, plan to visit family graves, or want to understand how local families mark Father's Day in Cuenca.
These observances are part of the city's public cemetery culture: religious, musical and family-centered, with a focus on remembering people who left a mark in their families' lives.
If you go, expect a quiet, reflective crowd rather than a tourist-style event.
