The local festival in Els Arcs, held from October 2nd to 5th, offered a varied program with music, gastronomy, popular culture, and family entertainment, despite necessary adjustments due to bad weather.

The celebration kicked off on Friday evening with a gathering and a 'fideuà' dinner at L'Arquerina, followed by concerts by the group Escorça and DJ Apolo, which were moved indoors due to rain.
Saturday was marked by a 'callos' breakfast, a botifarra card game exhibition, and a magic show with Marco Spicy. In the afternoon, children enjoyed a playground and a show by the company Més Tumàcat, also relocated indoors. The evening continued with concerts by young artists like El baile de fin de curso and DJ Jaume del Guit.
On Sunday, the festival continued with the playground, a solemn mass sung by the Coral Espiga d’Or, and a speech by the mayor, Sílvia Escalé. After the traditional festival vermouth at L'Arquerina, a parade with the Gegants de Bellvís took place, followed by afternoon activities including the 'salta boles'. The day concluded with a dance session by Banda Sonora.
The final day, Monday, included a mass in remembrance of the deceased, a humorous monologue by David Sas, and a popular dinner at L'Arquerina to close the festival.
The Bellvís Town Council has thanked the Els Arcs Festival Commission, the Jovent dels Arcs, and all collaborators, emphasizing that community involvement ensured the festival's success despite weather-related changes.
