The Legión 501, together with the Rebel Legion and Mando Mercs, celebrates its XVI Training Day with a major charity parade that will bring together nearly 400 characters from the Star Wars universe. This charity event seeks to raise funds for the “Manu Barrera” scholarship for childhood cancer research.
The parade
The main event will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Participants, arriving from various countries such as Spain, Portugal, France, Mexico, or Poland, will parade through the streets in cinema-quality costumes from the Luis Adaro fairgrounds to the Plaza Mayor, passing through the Paseo de El Molinón, Rufo García Renduelles, Ezcurdia, and Cabrales.
