OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD OF MOORS AND CHRISTIANS FROM XÀBIA
La Board of Festes de Moros i Cristians Xàbia It reports that, after assessing all the circumstances and listening to the concerns raised by the Filaes, it has decided to definitively suspend the Gala Parade scheduled for Sunday, July 19, with a single Gala Parade taking place on Saturday, July 18th.
This has been a especially difficult decisionThe large festival family had shown, from the very beginning, their enthusiasm for maintaining their two Gala Parades as one of the hallmarks and distinctive features that set them apart. parties of Moors and Christians of Xàbia.
However, the fact that Sunday's parade coincided with the World Cup final SoccerThe participation of the Spanish National Team has caused numerous contracts made by the various Filaes to be seriously affected, compromising the development and quality of the event.
Given this situation, and given the willingness shown by the Filà Capitana Al-Tarik's to move most of its pageantry to the Saturday parade, the Junta de Festes has considered that the most sensible and respectful option towards all the Filàs is to concentrate the Gala Parade into a single day.
New programming
Therefore, the programming for Saturday, July 18 It is maintained in the following way:
19:00 p.m.: Bands Entry.
20:00 PM: Gala Parade, which will end with the Grand Procession of the Captaincy of the Filà Al-Tarik's.
