This year 2020, however, most of this local festival was eliminated by the COVID pandemic. To the sadness caused by the disease, we have had to add the dire consequences for society and the economy. We are optimistic and we are convinced that next year all or most of them will be able to be celebrated and that is why we have compiled the calendar of the major festivals of all the towns of Maresme.<\/p>\n
