La Fira de Bruixes de Terrassa, Walpurgis, will celebrate this year its fifteenth edition in the Sant Pere Nord neighborhood with a notable novelty in the calendar. The event grows and goes from three to four days, from April 30 to May 3, in a format that expands the programming and reinforces its weight within the city's festive agenda.
The fair will once again be set up between Consell de Cent street and the Parc de la República, where the installation of more than 120 stalls is planned. The organization thus maintains the central axis of a celebration that every year gathers more than 20,000 people and that has consolidated itself as the fifth most participatory activity in Terrassa.
Four days of activity in Sant Pere Nord
This year's edition will revolve around witches and the resurrection of the he-goat, a theme that will mark a good part of the setting and of the programmed acts. The lineup includes three self-created shows with the collaboration of professional actors. Among them is the darkness parade, one of the planned productions within the program.
The growth of the event will also be reflected in the spaces and in the distribution of activities. The fair will premiere the Espai Guspira, designed for children's programming and located between the Centre Cívic Municipal President Macià and the Library. The proposal seeks to expand the family offer within a venue that during those days will concentrate a good part of the festive movement of the neighborhood.
New beast of fire and foreign participation
One of the highlighted moments will arrive on Sunday, when the group Diables de Sant Pere Nord will present Morgana, their new fire beast. The debut will be incorporated into a program in which fire will once again play a central role.
In the correfoc will also participate groups arrived from Portugal and from the Valencian Community, which will give an external dimension to one of the most followed events of the fair. To this will be added the second edition of the passage of terror in the Institut Escola Feixes, another of the activities that repeats after its premiere.
A consolidated event in the city
The program will also include Llucià Ferrer's vermouth, in an edition that reinforces the combination of shows, popular culture and activities for different audiences. The increase in days and the incorporation of new spaces arrive at a moment of full consolidation for Walpurgis, which maintains its convening power and its roots in Sant Pere Nord.
With this expanded format, Terrassa faces a new edition of one of its most popular events, called to fill again during four days one of the neighborhoods with the greatest associative and festive tradition in the city.
