The Tivissa City Council, in collaboration with local entities, organizes the first Sant Blai Winter Festival during February to enhance the municipality's identity and tradition.

This new initiative is born with the aim of growing and projecting the celebration of Sant Blai and the traditional pilgrimage to the hermitage, transforming it into a weekend event full of cultural, leisure, and popular activities.

The municipal commitment seeks to highlight the tradition, reinforce the identity of the municipality, and turn winter into a time of gathering and celebration in Tivissa.

Despite the expanded format, the program maintains the central axes of the festivity. On Tuesday, February 3, the day of the commemoration, the Holy Mass will be held at the hermitage with the traditional blessing of the fruits.
On Sunday, February 8, the pilgrimage will take place, which will include mass, the sardana dance, the popular vermouth, the distribution of the stew (caldereta), and various traditional games.
Between these key days, Friday and Saturday, events have been scheduled for all audiences, such as fire and music, contests, popular meals, workshops, and family activities, promoting participation and coexistence.
