With Easter just around the corner, we also start to look forward to the "FIESTA PATRONLES DE SAN VICENT FERRER" which this year run from the 23 April to the 04 May 2025.
There are some misunderstandings with people that the "Fiestas" are funded by the Townhall, this is not the case, with the majority of funding for all Fiestas is from the hard work and dedication of the "Festeros", they work tirelessly all year around to raise funds. The traditions of the "Festero" and the "Fiestas" ensure that the community continues to embrace the culture and traditions of Spain.
The year long committment shown by the Festeros (18 years) teaches them responsibility, community, honor, tradition, confidence and teamwork, it shapes them for their future in the world. (Terminology of the Fiestas)
