The Terra de Festes program on À Punt airs a new episode today, traveling to Sant Vicent del Raspeig, Figueroles, and Alberic to showcase their deeply rooted celebrations and cultural significance.

The television show, broadcast at 10:45 PM on À Punt, brings to citizens celebrations that combine identity, tradition, and participation. Furthermore, the program highlights the diverse ways of experiencing festivities in the Valencian territory, emphasizing their social and economic impact.
This program is part of a visibility strategy promoted by the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP) in collaboration with the Generalitat Valenciana. Through this agreement, a regional dissemination platform is made available to local councils, contributing to the protection and projection of their festive heritage.
In l'Alacantí, the patron saint festivities of Sant Vicent del Raspeig in honor of Sant Vicent Ferrer and the Moors and Christians mobilize nearly 4,500 participants, organized into 20 comparsas. The program highlights the spectacular nature of events such as the Christian Entry and the tradition of the Festa de la Flor, which reflects the impact of these celebrations on the municipality.
In Figueroles, in l'Alcalatén, the municipality's tricentennial structures a program focused on the sense of belonging. From the Festa del Reservat, with its characteristic “tauletes”, to the publication of a book on its historical evolution since 1726. The broadcast emphasizes history as the core of local identity.
Finally, in Ribera Alta, Alberic reaffirms its uniqueness with Palm Sunday. The program focuses on the Concurs de l'Encisam, a tradition that combines neighborhood participation and a charitable character. It also highlights the Sorteig dels Sants, which determines the custody of the images by families.
For the FVMP, this television window is a public service tool. The Federation acts as a link to ensure that the efforts of municipalities, especially those with less media projection capacity, reach all citizens, reinforcing the recognition of local cultural heritage.
