The Raval de Montserrat hosted the traditional human tower festival during the Terrassa Festa Major, marked by high temperatures and the ambition of the participating groups.

The Minyons de Terrassa delivered an outstanding performance, reaching their best level of the season. Their achievements included successfully building the 4d9 with folre and opening the door to the 'gamma extra' category with the 2d9 with folre and manilles. The day culminated in an emotional pillar of 7 with folre, which was met with euphoria by the audience.
Meanwhile, the Castellers de Terrassa experienced a day of resilience. Despite a promising start with the Tower of 7, the group faced complications with the 4d9, which ended as a dismantled attempt following a fall. Despite the setbacks, they regained confidence with a 7d7 and concluded their participation with a 3d7 from below executed with proficiency.
The event also featured the Xiquets de Valls, who completed a solid performance by successfully building the 3d9 with folre, the 4d9 with folre, and the 4d8 with pillar, finishing with a pillar of 7 with folre. The event took place under demanding weather conditions, with temperatures reaching 34 degrees Celsius.
