The Colla dels Federins de Terrassa is organizing a festive day this Saturday, July 18, which will bring together hundreds of 'trabucaires' to fill the city streets with tradition and gunpowder.

The events will begin at 11:30 AM with a floral offering and honorary salutes at the Monòlit del Cementiri Vell, located on passeig de Joan Miró. This initial part of the day is held in collaboration with the Associació de Veïns del Barri Universitari Cementiri Vell.
In the afternoon, starting at 6:00 PM, activities will move to passeig del Vint-i-Dos de Juliol, near the Estació del Nord. There, the hosts will gather alongside five guest groups from Esplugues de Llobregat, Vila de Gràcia, Prat de Llobregat, Caseres, and Sant Cugat del Vallès.
The parade, accompanied by the Gralles de Vilatrobada, will pass through several points in the historic center, including placeta de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer, placeta de Saragossa, and raval de Montserrat, where a final performance will take place in front of the Atri de l'Ajuntament.
The day will conclude at Plaça Vella with the investiture of the Trabucaire d'Honor at 7:50 PM. To close the event, the Ministrils del Raval will offer a concert of popular dances open to the entire public.
