The celebration of Catalonia's National Day in Garcia on September 11th brought together residents of all ages in Plaça Catalunya for a day of national affirmation and coexistence. The welcoming and sunny atmosphere accompanied the scheduled events.
The Diables de Garcia (devils of Garcia) provided the traditional element and spectacle for the celebration, with performances including fire, smoke, and the rhythm of the drummers. These performances were a highlight of visual appeal and delighted the attending audience.
The central event was the reading of the institutional manifesto from the lectern of the Garcia Town Hall. During this moment, the values of the day were reviewed, advocating for Catalan history, language, and culture. Afterwards, attendees united their voices to emotionally and collectively sing the official anthem of Catalonia, Els Segadors.
To conclude the event, a popular vermouth was offered in the same square. Tables served tapas and appetizers, allowing residents to converse and enjoy a festive meeting space.
The celebration highlighted the town's commitment to Catalan traditions and the joint effort of the Town Hall and local entities, resulting in a memorable day where popular culture and collective sentiment were the main protagonists.
