Pampilla Festival
The Pampilla Festival ( es, Fiesta de la Pampilla; also known as ''Pampilla de Coquimbo'' or simply ''La Pampilla'') is a Chilean celebration that takes place between 18 and 20 September every year in honor of the country's Fiestas Patrias – although it usually extends two days before or two days after those dates – in the esplanade of the same name, located in the city of Coquimbo. During this period, even weeks before activities begin, hundreds of families settle in tents and vehicles in the hills. History According to tradition, due to the distance between Coquimbo and Santiago, news of the establishment of the First Government Junta on 18 September 1810 arrived two days later. For this reason, 20 September is currently a holiday in the Coquimbo Region and the official closing date of La Pampilla. All these celebrations began to take place annually on 29 July 1823.

Canal 8 as a regional channel with local programming began on May 10, 1974, and achieved great success in La Serena and Coquimbo. Consolidation During the 1980s, Canal 8 had contracts with Canal 13, Teleonce and UCV TV and aired programs from all three networks as well as its own local productions, resulting in high ratings.
