The city of Tortosa will host the 13th Tortosa Irish Festival from March 13 to 21, featuring an expanded nine-day program that integrates local schools and social entities.

Mayor Mar Lleixà announced that this year's festival marks a significant step forward by reaching every school in the city. Students will participate in English-language workshops using the game SNAP, organized by Jordi Pellejà, to promote learning through play.

"One of the main novelties of this edition is that, for the first time, it reaches all the schools in the city."
