Lleida concludes the Autumn Festivals 2026 with high citizen participation and no significant incidents. Mayor Fèlix Larrosa emphasized that "the Historic Center has earned the trust of the citizens" and highlighted the importance of its recovery and transformation to generate economic activity.
Safety was a priority, with joint controls between the Guardia Urbana and Mossos d'Esquadra identifying eight individuals for carrying bladed weapons. The Punt Lila/LGTBI+ point assisted nearly 250 people, distributing 250 alert bracelets with real-time location. The NitsQ service detected no relevant situations related to substance consumption.
More than half a thousand people used the special night bus services. The Councilor for Festivals, Xavi Blanco, positively assessed the citizen response to over 100 activities, including the National Children's Meeting of Catalan Stick Dancing and the Casteller Day. The opening of cultural and heritage facilities to promote tourism was also highlighted.
The program emphasized inclusivity, with the relocation of the Night of Fire to Rambla de Aragó to facilitate access for people with reduced mobility. The celebration involved over 50 entities and served to boost the historic center and the city.
The Sant Miquel day included the traditional madrugadas (early morning processions), the Seguici de les Festes del Otoño (Autumn Festivals Parade), and the Passada de Lluïment (Display Parade), featuring various popular dances such as the Baile de Diablos (Devil's Dance), the Águila de la Ciudad (City's Eagle), and the Gegants (Giants).
The festivals conclude with circus workshops, concerts, and dances, and the traditional Fireworks Display by Pirotecnia Martí on the left bank of the Segre river.
