The festival, scheduled for October 17th, will maintain its traditional spirit with family activities, popular culture, music, and a communal meal, despite the change of venue.
The EMD of Valldoreix has decided to move the festival to L'Envelat due to the prohibition of access to the area around the hermitage of La Salut, as a control measure following the outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF).
The program will begin at 11 AM with a climbing wall and zip line, traditional games, an exhibition of ADF vehicles, and a creative workshop. At 11:30 AM, there will be the 'ballada dels Gegants de Valldoreix' (dance of the Valldoreix Giants), and at 12 PM, the traditional 'ballada de sardanes' (sardana dance) with the Cobla Mediterrània.
The day will continue at 1:30 PM with a performance by the Coral l’Harmonia and Música Al Cor. At 2 PM, the traditional 'carmanyola' (packed lunch) meal will be held, for which tables and chairs must be reserved in advance.
The 'Aplec' will conclude at 3:30 PM with an after-meal concert and folk dances by the group Romaní.
The event, organized by the EMD of Valldoreix in collaboration with local entities, aims to preserve a deeply rooted celebration by adapting it to current circumstances to ensure safety.
