The Sant Antoni Abat festival, originally scheduled for January 24, gathered hundreds of residents and visitors who enjoyed the parade. This massive event was the culmination of various activities programmed throughout the weekend in the capital of Moianès.
The Sant Antoni Abat parade was the most crowded event, filling the town's streets with hundreds of residents and visitors.
The gathering began at the municipal pavilion, from where the procession departed towards the Plaça Major (Main Square). The parade was led by the Banda Municipal de l’Espai Musical de Moià and the figure known as the Pollo, followed by over forty animals, carts, and tractors.
This year, the title of Traginer d’Honor (Honorary Drover) was awarded to Josep Antoni Mur Allué and the Banderer (Standard Bearer) to Adrià Clotet Tura. The first blessing took place at 11:30 AM in front of the church, and the final lap featured the performance of the traditional Ball del Contrapàs curt dance.
The prelude to the festival occurred on Saturday afternoon with the Gran Botifarrada (Great Sausage Feast) in the Plaça Major. Subsequently, the Grallers de Moià (traditional musicians) accompanied the serenade to the incoming and outgoing administrators, before the entourage was received at the Town Hall by Mayor Dionís Guiteras.
