Feast of San Sebastian in Olvan
On January 20 every year the municipality of Olvan celebrates the festival of San Sebastián, as a people's vote in gratitude to this saint for having freed its inhabitants from the plague during the middle ages.
The acts will begin at 8 in the morning with a mass and the adoration of the saint's relic. At 12 noon the religious office and adoration will be repeated, and a procession will be made that will include the singing of joys and a concert with the choir Estrella de Gironella. At 2 pm the rice will be blessed, which will be distributed in the Plaza de San Sebastián. At half past five in the afternoon, the Athenaeum will dance.
This party is organized by the neighbors of the town.
