The main event will be a performance at the Liceu de Catalunya, an institutional event in which they will be accompanied by the Orquestra de Músiques d'Arrel de Catalunya (OMAC)

 

This year the Castellers de Vilafranca are celebrating the 75th anniversary of their foundation in 1948, and to commemorate this they have organized a series of celebratory events that will take place throughout the Castellera season.

As this is a very marked milestone, the verdss will feature one logo birthday special made by Bildi Grafiks. In addition, the 75th Anniversary commission is made up of gang members of all ages and groups, such as Sandra Castaño, Txell Juan, Gemma Raventós, Carles Mata Cusiné, Nil Solà, Albert Cabré, Jou Cabré, Lluis Esclassans and Miquel Ferret.

The main event of the anniversary will be a performance at the Gran Teatre del Liceu de Catalunya on September 30, where the people from Vilafranca will perform together with the Catalan Root Music Orchestra (OMAC). This is an institutional event that will represent the first performance in the history of a Castellera group in this space. To do this, the OMAC will arrange a series of traditional, popular and castellare musical pieces that are usually played in the squares and will perform them in the Gran Teatre del Liceu together with the castells of the verds.

The celebration will start on May 6, the day on which the institutional presentation of the events at Vilafranca Town Hall and will be held on opening proclamation of the 75th anniversary. The announcement will be made by Jordi Bertran, head of the square and will take place in the Vinseum Auditorium. Later, at the end, there will be a popular dinner and party for everyone by the Vilafranca DJ John Jacobsen.

There will also be one on May 20 great concert in the parking lot of the Espirall football field, which will feature the revelation group of 2022, the Mataronians The Tyets, who present their new album this year. During the night, they will also be accompanied by Banda Neon and PD Vilafranquins La Cara B.
