“"We were right not to suspend the Fair. We saved it. This has taught us that despite forecasts and bad weather, if you have the determination to push forward, it can work."

While activities like the street parade with MiniStress and the performance by the Castellers de Figueres had to be cancelled, the concert by La Ludwig Band was successfully held indoors at the Fraternal hall, which was "packed to the rafters" with visitors, including those from Northern Catalonia.
