The city of Lleida celebrates today, the day of its patron saint Sant Anastasi, the final day of its festivities with a program that includes the floral offering and the popular Flower Battle on Rambla Ferran.

The most prominent events of this festive day in the capital of Segrià will begin in the morning with the Matinals de Seguici and the Ball de Diables, which will parade through the Eix Comercial. Subsequently, the most solemn events will take place, such as the religious service in the Cathedral, presided over by the bishop of Lleida, and the procession with the floral offering in honor of Sant Anastasi.
One of the most anticipated moments of the day is the Flower Battle, which will take place in the afternoon on Rambla Ferran. This event, very popular during the May major festival, returns to its usual location after the road renovation works.
In addition to the traditional celebrations, the city will offer a wide cultural program with the opening of eight facilities, including the Castell de Gardeny, the Museu Morera, and the Turó de la Seu Vella, which will be available to the public during the morning. The evening program includes a dance in Plaça Sant Joan, sardanas in Plaça Paeria, and the performance of Conte del Marraco in the Camps Elisis. The day will culminate with a Firework Display at 10:00 PM, marking the end of four days of celebration.
