Notes from the last check
The official Basílica site (santuarionacional.org) confirms the Basílica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago and states that the romería, a walk to the Basílica, takes place each year on 1 August, the eve of the 2 August feast. The 2026 edition ran 23 July to 3 August per La Nación (news, 16 July 2026). The 2027 edition is 'expected' from that fixed annual rule; no 2027 announcement was found.
