A tradition that endures over time

On February 2, La Pobla de Claramunt will experience a new edition of its beloved Candlemas Fair, a celebration that dates back to 1819. On this occasion, the heart of the town will be transformed into a vibrant farmers’ market, open from 9 am to 2 pm, while the Town Hall Square will host a varied art fair.

Activities for all ages

The day will not only be limited to local product stalls; activities have also been prepared that seek to connect the community with its roots. The little ones will be able to enjoy feeding chickens and collecting eggs, while adults will be able to participate in the creation of candles and visit the Mare de Déu de la Llet. And we cannot forget the delight of the fritters, which promise to be one of the most anticipated dishes.

A diversified program

In addition to the traditional activities, the fair is enriched with parallel proposals such as the 5th Photographic Rally, which invites you to capture the essence of the fair through the lens. Registration will be held at the Town Hall Square from 9 to 10 a.m. For those interested in nature, at 10 a.m., a natural first aid kit workshop will be held at the Gumersind Bisbal Ateneu, with prior registration available online.

A day that culminates with music and art

The celebration of the Candelera Fair does not end at noon; at 7 p.m., the Ateneu Gumersind Bisbal will host the 5th Candelera Concert, with performances by two choirs from Igualada, the Coral la Lira and the Coral la Llàntia. In addition, from January 31 to February 16, visitors will be able to enjoy an exhibition of local artists in the Exhibition Hall.

Reflections on the importance of the fair

Fina Vilarrúbias, the Councilor for Culture, commented on the event: “We have designed a program that highlights our tradition and culture, but we also want to offer an experience that promotes family leisure, nature, art and music. La Candelera is the perfect opportunity to rediscover the old town of our town with a new perspective, surrounded by the smell of rosemary and the flavors that the fair offers us.”
