The Festivalet EVA354 has concluded its second edition in the Penedès region after organizing 21 activities between June 19 and July 5, mobilizing hundreds of people.

The event achieved a positive outcome with 582 attendees and the participation of 231 readers. This figure includes both regular volunteers and new additions, highlighting a generational shift that added 34 new participants to the project, a higher number than the previous year.
The program combined traditional spaces such as nursing homes and day centers with new training proposals. Among the most notable activities, the verse reading workshop sold out, while the literary presentation at the castle of La Granada fostered participatory debate among attendees.
The closing ceremony took place at the Subirats Castle, establishing itself as a meeting point for various literary groups in the territory. This event served to strengthen alliances between local entities and promote reading as a tool for social cohesion.
Beyond these dates, the organization maintains its activity throughout the year, bringing literature to civic centers, hospitals, and municipalities with limited cultural offerings, aiming to ensure universal access to culture.
