The sixth edition of the Craftswomen Fair in Sant Hipòlit de Voltregà filled the town's old quarter with crafts, music, and a festive atmosphere, coinciding with the surrounding days of the International Day of Rural Women. Despite adverse weather forecasts for Saturday, the weather was favorable during the day, allowing for the valorization of female talent, local crafts, and community cohesion.
As a novelty this year, the fair moved to Carrer de l’Església, the town's most commercial area. Hundreds of visitors enjoyed a day full of activities, including over 30 stalls from craftswomen from all over the region, concerts throughout the day, and various participatory workshops. Among them, 'Teixim un test: drap de llana' (Weaving a pot: wool cloth) was offered by Laia Aguilà, a collaborative mural with Laia Sauret, and a sculpture and modeling workshop with Mar Colomer.
The day culminated with a performance by local singer Bruna Anfruns, who recently released her new album. Both the mayor, Gerard Sancho, and the Equality Councilor, Marta Boixeda, highly valued the change of location and dates. They highlighted that this decision has allowed them to maintain the fair's close and rural essence while strengthening ties between local businesses and the craftswomen.
The organization has thanked all the individuals, entities, and merchants in the municipality who made this new edition possible, reporting "very good feelings".
