It is a party that takes place in the street where there are stalls where books and roses are sold and people walk, look, buy and give these things away for this party.

For this reason, taking advantage of the fact that this year it falls on a Sunday and we have the whole weekend (every time the festivities last longer than indicated) Joan Lluis has organized the inauguration ceremony of the Go club of the Gran Penya de Vilanova i la Geltrú on April 22th to achieve maximum influx and impact.
