The 14th edition of the 'Fira de la Nou' in Montesquiu was a success in terms of participation, with hundreds of people filling the town's streets. The fair, which changed its date this year due to a previous postponement, featured 67 stalls and 16 activities for all ages, demonstrating its established place in the region's event calendar.
The event served to showcase the heritage and surroundings of Montesquiu, boost the local economy, revitalize businesses, and promote tourism, aiming to leave visitors with good memories and a desire to return.
The day offered a wide variety of cultural, nature, and craft activities. Music by Sara Roy, traditional dances by the Esbart Rosa d’Abril, a 'ballada de gegants' (giant parade), an accordionists' gathering, and a theatrical play enlivened the day. For nature and artisan crafts, there were workshops on mushrooms, basket weaving, birdhouse construction, craft demonstrations, and wood sculpture creation. Children enjoyed giant games, archery, and rides on Catalan donkeys. All this was complemented by stalls selling crafts, food, and second-hand goods.
The Montesquiu Town Council expressed gratitude to the stallholders, local associations, businesses, artists, and collaborators, as well as the involvement of the residents and the participation of visitors who made the fair possible.
