The organization dedicated to the Festival of Light has updated its leadership. Josep Guardiola Tobella, a business director born in 1969, now leads the board. The association works closely with the Manresa City Council to manage the annual celebrations.
“"To those who leave during the festival, I would say they are missing a great event that showcases our local values."
A major priority for the new presidency is engaging younger generations. Despite the success of the children's proclamation, the festival faces competition from regional carnivals. Recognized as Catalan Festive Heritage since 2015, the event remains a cornerstone of local identity.
