The celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ball de Gitanes (Gypsy Dance) revival in Moià concluded a series of events that, during the recent Winter Festivals, have recalled the return to the stage of the Ball del Ciri (Candle Dance) and the Ball dels Garrofins. The parish church hosted a hundred dancers on a gray and rainy day.

The evening, enlivened by the Cobla Sabadell conducted by Josep Valldaura, began with the Ball del Ciri, an elegant piece symbolizing the handover of the parish altar administrators. Subsequently, the youngest participants performed the Ball dels Garrofins, the dancing ritual that announces the winter festival.

During the event, the transfer of the Sant Antoni flag was formalized from the current administrator, Nil Clusella, to the new one, Adrià Clotet. Furthermore, the new honorary muleteer was announced as Josep Antoni Mur, head of the Rural Agents Corps of the Government of Catalonia.

The climax was the Ball de Gitanes, featuring the character known as the Pollo and the participation of a large group of dancers from the last fifty years. Special recognition was given to Rosa Forcada and Jordi Ferrer for their leadership in keeping this tradition alive in Moià.
