The presentation event for the Three Kings of the East activities, held on December 18, highlighted the 75th anniversary of the popular Page Xiu-Xiu. The grand welcome party for Their Majesties will take place at the Parc de les Nacions Unides on January 5 starting at 4:00 PM, featuring workshops, hot chocolate, and the Ball de Reis dance by the Bastoners de Terrassa, along with entertainment from Miqui Giménez.
The highly anticipated arrival of the three Kings, marking 110 years of the Parade, is scheduled around 4:45 PM by helicopter, followed by the traditional Ball de Reis de Terrassa. The Parade, organized by CC El Social in collaboration with the Ajuntament de Terrassa, will commence at 6:00 PM from Vallhonrat street.
Ricard Figueres, president of El Social, explained that the procession will consist of four main blocks and a total of 12 floats. The main novelty is the debut of King Balthazar's float, which has been completely renovated and modernized. It will revolve around the theme of coal in a “more animated and dynamic” way, moving past last year's controversy.
“"It will be a family and immersive experience where Their Majesties will show some of their secrets."
The parade will feature ten musical groups (over 200 musicians) and 600 pages who will distribute nearly 10 tons of gluten-free candy. The route, identical to previous years, will include a reduced noise section on Passeig 22 de juliol and a designated area for people with reduced mobility. The final stop will be at Raval de Montserrat for the institutional reception, the handover of the city keys, and speeches featuring sign language interpretation.
A new pre-parade activity, “El Vapor dels Reis” (The Kings' Steam), is also debuting. This free, immersive event, organized with Prodis and El Social, will take place at the Vapor de Prodis venue on January 2, 3, and 4, offering guided tours, performances, and gastronomy.
