The main day took place on Sunday with the celebration of a solemn mass, followed by the traditional Corpus Christi Dances. The procession paraded through streets adorned with myrtle and included the participation of numerous traditional Valencian dances, such as the Ball de Cabets, els Bastons, els Cavallets, els Arquets, la Jota, la Dansà dels Llauradors, la Dansà de la Magrana, la Dansà de Gandia, and the emblematic Ball de la Moma.
Traditional music was present throughout the route thanks to the participation of various groups of 'dolçainers' and 'tabaleters' from Safor and Grau.

The procession was accompanied by the traditional Cirialots, the Band of the Beniopa Musical Centre, and the Custodia, carried by the Brotherhood of the Holy Supper of Santa Ana.
