The celebration will begin at 10:00 AM on Passeig Verdaguer with the 26th Lace Makers' Gathering. Over 240 participants from across Catalonia will gather until 1:00 PM to showcase this artisanal tradition.
From 11:30 AM, Plaça de la Vila will host cultural showcases: the Indian giants Capitán Parera and Blanca Aurora will perform, accompanied by the younger giant Oliu. The Maduixots human tower group will build a 'pilar', and the Unió Lloretenca choir will perform ‘El Cant del Poble’. There will also be musical performances by Silvia Castillo (piano) and Paula González (flute).
“"September 11th should also be felt in our streets. Hanging a Catalan flag from the balcony is a simple, yet very symbolic gesture."
At 12:00 PM, the institutional ceremony will take place with a floral offering, involving nine local entities forming a Catalan flag. Following this, Mayor Adrià Lamelas will deliver the institutional speech, and the day will conclude with the performance of ‘Els Segadors’, the Catalan National Anthem.
“"We are an open and diverse city, but we also have our own culture and traditions that we want to preserve and pass on to new generations. September 11th allows us to celebrate everything that identifies us as a people, and at the same time, to do so with cohesion and respect."
