The main events began on Friday, April 10, with a massive popular dansà, accompanied by the Associació Cultural de Tabals i Dolçaines la Huitena de Museros and various traditional dance groups from l'Horta Nord. More than a hundred people participated in this traditional dance from the hermitage of Sant Roc to the parish of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, filling Calle Mayor with a great atmosphere.
Following this, the passejà de Sant Vicent took place; a popular dinner with an orchestra organized by Amics de la Festa de Sant Vicent; and the Nit de Canyes, a very striking and peculiar pyrotechnic show that runs through the historic center of the town, where rockets, joined by sticks, explode as they are carried by the participants.
“"These festivities are a reflection of the character of our town, where tradition and neighborhood involvement go hand in hand. We have managed to adapt so that all events could be held and that citizens could enjoy such important days."
On Saturday, the bullfighting festivities organized by the peña Els Valents, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary, took place. The program included top-level bulls and, as a novelty, a children's transhumance that was very well received.
Sunday, one of the most anticipated days, was marked by the transfer of the traditional paellas and the orchestra's performance to a municipal warehouse, which allowed the celebration to continue despite the rain. This space, acquired by the City Council last July for logistical use, demonstrated its versatility by successfully hosting numerous residents.
“"Having infrastructures like this warehouse allows us to guarantee that our festivities do not stop, even in unforeseen situations. I want to thank the understanding and collaboration of all citizens."
Although the transfer of the image to the church had to be suspended due to bad weather, the rain gave a truce hours later, allowing the celebration of the traditional Cordà in the Castell square, which once again gathered numerous attendees. The celebrations concluded on Monday, April 13, with the solemn communion of the infirm and the mass in honor of Sant Vicent, putting the final touch to days marked by participation and festive roots.
