Bellvís is celebrating the 30th edition of the Firals festival this weekend, transforming the municipality into an 18th-century village with a renewed script centered on the legend of Cal Bufalà.

The celebration, which began on Friday with a walk to the arches and evening shows, reaches its peak over the weekend. The event includes historical reenactments, performances by giants, juggling, music, and poetry, as well as children's activities and a popular dinner.
On Saturday, the day started with the proclamation and the participation of grallas and giants, followed by the puppet show ‘L’anella de Cal Bufalà’. The afternoon was marked by wine tastings, children's games, and music and poetry sessions, culminating in night shows and a 'Viking Akampada'.
Today, Sunday, the festival continues from 10:00 AM with a popular hot chocolate and a mass sung in Gregorian chant by the Coral Espiga d’Or. Afterwards, there will be bell ringing and a celebration for the baptism of the children of the Casa Bufalà.
The afternoon program is especially dedicated to the youngest attendees, with children's games and a new puppet show. The day will conclude with a Jam Slam of text and poetry recitals at 7:45 PM, and at 8:00 PM, a performance by acrobats will revisit the legend with the consequences of the previous night's events.
