29th Aplec de la Salut de Sant Feliu de Llobregat

On June 9, 2025, Sant Feliu de Llobregat will host a new edition of the traditional Aplec de la Salut (Health Festival ), which this year celebrates its 29th edition. A festive, cultural, and popular event organized by Calaix de Sastre, full of activities for all audiences.

The 29th Aplec de la Salut is organized by the Cajón de Sastre Association in collaboration with the Parish of San Lorenzo

IMPORTANT: All activities will take place this year on the lower esplanade due to the restaurant renovations and the poor condition of the paving in the chapel squares. Access from above will be blocked and inaccessible. Therefore, you will have to enter from the lower esplanade, as is the case when dancing soca and sardanas.

The bells will start at 9 a.m., with the traditional ringing of the bells by the Colla de Campaneros de la Seu de Sant Llorenç. Following this, to announce the start of the festivities, there will be a parade through the streets of Sant Feliu, from the Plaza de la Vila to the esplanade below the La Salut farmhouse, with the Trabucaires de Sant Llorenç and Cesc the Bandit.

At 10:00 a.m. the Virgin of Health will make her entrance and the Catalan flag will be raised and the proclamation will be given, which will be given by the Colla de Gigante Tonet and the Hada Natura, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.

Next up, Sant Feliu's groups and choirs will give their traditional performances at the Virgin's feet. Confirmed performances include Gigantes del ACF (ACF Giants ) in Banyetes and La Rebanyuda, Gigante Tonet and Hada Natura, the Els Tronats drummers, the Falguera Throne drummers, and the Castellers de Sant Feliu.

At 12 noon the solemn mass will be celebrated, officiated by the archpriest of Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Xavier Armengol.

After the mass at around 1 p.m., the traditional Soca Dance will take place, performed by the ACF's main band. This will be followed by sardana dancing with the Cobla Baix Llobregat.

At 2:00 p.m., a popular lunch will be held, including salad, fideuá, dessert, and a drink. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER. Pre-registration is required to participate. Throughout the day, there will also be bar service organized by Seny i Ordre.

Finally, at 4 p.m., the traditional lamb raffle and the singing of the Salve Regina will take place to bid farewell to the Virgin Mary during this jubilee year of 2025. The chapel is expected to reopen during the last quarter of the year once the work on the farmhouse is completed.

The origins of the tradition of the Aplec de la Salut date back to the 1920s, when the Aplec de Santa Creu was organized and was a regional festival that was celebrated in Sant Feliu until the 1960s. It was revived in 1997.

This year it is part of the DASC (Cultural Associations Day) program, which is celebrated on June 4.
