Usual celebration
The Magdalena festivities recall the city's foundational move and are usually held over nine days from the third Saturday of Lent. Plaza Mayor, the central streets and the Magdalena hermitage host the Pregó, the Romeria de les Canyes, mascletaes, gaiata parades and lighting, the offering to Mare de Déu del Lledó and the closing Magdalena Vítol.
The Municipal Festival Board and the Town Hall organise the cycle with gaiata committees, collas, bands, associations, residents and visitors.
