The Parcent Town Council has launched a public appeal seeking volunteers and groups to get involved in organizing the 2026 Sant Llorenç festivities, highlighting the need for citizen participation to keep this tradition alive.

The council has disseminated this message via Facebook and in three languages (Spanish, Valencian, and English) to reach the largest possible number of residents. The tone of the statement reveals a specific need: to strengthen the organization of celebrations whose program is already well advanced but still requires human support to be finalized with guarantees and even to expand.
In the statement, the Town Council informs that it is looking for people who wish to participate voluntarily in various tasks related to the preparation of the festivities. It also invites groups interested in getting involved in the process to join.
The message places special emphasis on a task that often goes unnoticed but is fundamental for any festive program: the preparation of the festivities book, a basic tool both for shaping the program and for disseminating it among the population. Additionally, those who decide to participate could collaborate in managing festivities fees, finalizing the program, and potentially expanding events if a larger budget becomes available. Support for logistics in the days leading up to and during the festive days is also requested.

"Only with the involvement of everyone can we continue to keep our festivities alive."

Beyond the literal announcement, the statement hints at a reality increasingly present in many small municipalities: organizing popular festivities requires community involvement that is not always easy to gather. In towns like Parcent, where community life remains a central element, celebrations depend not only on municipal initiative but also on the drive of those willing to take on work, coordination, and responsibility.
The council has explained that interested individuals can contact the Festivities councilor via the email provided in the statement. If a sufficient number of volunteers or a willing group is eventually assembled, an informative meeting will be called to explain the current state of organization, the planned program, and the various forms of collaboration.
