The Museu de la Noguera has launched a new mobile application for the literary route of the fairies of Balaguer, expanding the Night of Fades celebration with a festive format for all audiences.

Since 2023, the fantastical figures created by Josep Carner-Ribalta, such as Dolldargent and Cantapur, have adorned eight emblematic spots in the Historic Center of Balaguer. Now, three years later, the Museu de la Noguera has launched an app for this literary route aiming to showcase the work of the local writer.
The initiative, which this year has been expanded from the former Night of Legends, was conceived as a grand end-of-course celebration, designed for both adults and families. The route of fairy sculptures led into the narration of the winning legends from the Ziryab Awards 2025.

These works were narrated by Patricia McGill, who also performed the winning piece of the Ziryab Award for children's ensembles, titled "El mite de les harpies". The evening concluded with a concert by the group Julivert.
