[:en]Today, Lardero Thursday, the starting gun would be fired for the Carnival festivities of Vilanova i la Geltrú with the Merengada and the traditional Xatonada. Almost a week of celebration and joy in the streets, marked by costumes and satire. But, unfortunately, due to the pandemic This year we will not be able to enjoy this long-awaited celebration with more than 250 years of history.
Well, at least not as much as we would have liked. While from the Merengada (Thursday 11) to the Burial of the Sardine (Wednesday 17), the streets of our city were filled with life between parades, street parties, concerts and carnival groups… now our houses will be! The City Council has organized a series of online events to keep the excitement alive, despite the difficult circumstances around us.

Also They have published a magazine that compiles the best of the history of the Vilanova Carnival and will be distributed through all the mailboxes in the municipality. In addition, we will be able to follow a week of special programming on Canal Blau dedicated to this holiday and participate in virtual activities with the whole family.

Even though it is difficult, we have to work to adapt and not lose the traditions that form our collective identity. For this reason, From Serra, we want to make an appeal to keep social networks active these days and decorate the balconies like never before! Why don't we start by celebrating our own xatonada? Be careful, there is no xatonada that doesn't end with chases around the table...

We are aware that we are going to experience a very different Carnival in Vilanova i la Geltrú. But making it unique is in our hands. Do you want to take part? Let's do it safely, let's do it wisely.
And, remember, as the feast of Sant Antoni (January 17) fell on a Sunday, this coming Monday, February 15th will be a holiday in Vilanova i la Geltrú. Now, health and celebration for everyone!
