Manresa City Council released its assessment of this year's Christmas program, highlighting general satisfaction with the novelties and high attendance, while acknowledging the need for organizational improvements.

Councilors Tània Infante (Culture and Commerce) and Isabel Sánchez (Childhood and Youth) emphasized the commitment to a transversal program that centered children and revitalized the city center for 50 days. They summarized the assessment by stating that “we have laid a good foundation for reformulating everything,” but that “there is room for improvement.”

"We want this parade to grow. It will mean investing more in costumes, but that's how it is. The parade was beautiful, but we are short on people."

The Three Kings Parade, organized with the Agrupació Cultural del Bages, was followed by over 10,000 people. Participation, which stood at nearly 300 people, is the main challenge, as the goal is to reach figures of 700 or 800 participants in future editions.
Among the successful novelties, highlights include the Christmas Square (Plaça de Nadal) with the Fada Belluerna (Fairy), which received about 2,000 children, and the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Campi qui Jugui, which registered 8,178 visitors at the Palau Firal. Councilor Infante assured that the Christmas Square “has come to stay.”
