Description: This poster, sent by the Vilafranca del Penedès Town Council and preserved with the Culture correspondence, is a living example of the local festive culture. The Festa Major, with its traditional elements such as castles, music and dances, is an expression of collective identity and the continuity of forms of popular celebration. In the context of 1947, at the height of the dictatorship, the party also became a space of symbolic resistance and preservation of the Catalan language and traditions. This graphic document reflects the wealth of intangible heritage and its ability to generate social cohesion. It is part of the theme of culture and art, and emphasizes the role of municipal archives in the conservation of festive and community memory.
