From November 13th to 30th, Gurb will host a new edition of its Festival, offering a wide range of activities including music, shows, sports, tradition, and family-oriented events. The aim is to consolidate the festival as a meeting point for the community.
The celebration will kick off on Friday, November 13th, with the traditional opening speech at the Teatre del Molí de l'Esperança, this year delivered by musician Miquel Rojo Rosa. The event will feature the participation of the Municipal Music School and the presentation of this year's pubill and pubilla (traditional Catalan figures).
Music will be a central theme. On Saturday, November 14th, Els Pets will headline the Concert Jove, accompanied by Pla Moguda and DJ Velasco. The following weekend, the Orchestra La Selvatana will perform the traditional Festival concert and a dance session. On Saturday, November 28th, one of the most anticipated events will take place: the themed Festival dinner, this year under the slogan «Anem de bodorrio! Vine de convidat» (Let's go to a wedding! Come as a guest), followed by bingo and a cover band concert by La Divand.
Sports and outdoor activities will also have a prominent place with the VI Ciclocròs de Gurb – Memorial Lluís Vila Codina, a petanque championship, a solidarity walk for Osona Contra el Càncer, and the Festival match between UE Gurb and UE Centelles. Families will have their own special day on Sunday, November 22nd, with a family party including hot chocolate, inflatables, and the show Pop Canalla by La Dona del Sac. The program also includes theater, cinema, and youth workshops.
Tradition will be honored with the XIII Caminada del Pelegrí de Gurb (Pilgrim's Walk) on Sunday, November 29th. That same afternoon, the Festa de la Gent Gran (Seniors' Festival) will be held, featuring the show Jota x Cobla, by Quico el Célio, el Noi i el Mut de Ferreries, Cobla Reus Joves, and Marcel Casellas. The Festival will conclude on Monday, November 30th, with the traditional mass and vermouth at the parish of Sant Andreu, featuring the Coral de Gurb, and the fireworks display, which will mark the end of over two weeks of celebration.
The Gurb City Council invites all citizens to participate in the activities and enjoy a Festival that, once again, aims to combine tradition, culture, fun, and community.
