Authorities in Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltrú have decided to postpone the main events of this February 12th until 8:00 PM due to severe wind gusts.

The anticipated Arribo of His Majesty King Carnestoltes in Sitges, organized by the Érem Pocs group, has been impacted by the weather. The event at the Fragata area was rescheduled to ensure public safety across the Garraf region.
The traditional Merengada in Vilanova i la Geltrú has also been delayed. Weather forecasts suggest that wind intensity will decrease by late afternoon, allowing the festivities to begin at the new evening time.
