With the Nou d'Octubre just around the corner, the Dénia City Council presented this Thursday the programming for a date that has become essential for all culture lovers. For a few years now, the institutional events have been joined by a series of activities to bring the celebration closer to the city's residents, usually culminating in a high-level concert. All of this will be expanded in 2023, with one of the most extensive programming in memory, and for all audiences.
Vicent Grimalt, Mayor of Dénia, Rafa Carrió, vice mayor and councilor of Normalització Lingüística, Raul Garcia de la Reina, Councilor for Culture and Festivals, and Valen Alcala, councilor for Joventut and Esports, have presented this morning the programming of a Nou d'Octubre which, in addition to being an event for vindication and pride, almost becomes a weekend of festivities.
"We have managed to bring culture back to the streets," Grimalt was proud after the results of previous editions with which they have managed to involve citizens. And the fact is that, beyond the institutional events in which representatives of all political groups traditionally participate, and which this year moves as a great novelty to the Plaça Pere Eiximen d'en Carròs (First Grup of Mariners), culture and Valencian tradition will once again be the protagonist through different musical, sports, leisure and, ultimately, festive activities.

This “broad, diverse and for all audiences” programming, as Rafa Carrió pointed out, will begin on Friday October 6 with the first edition of Languagefest.

The Llenguafest will celebrate its first edition at 19:00 p.m. in the Plaça del Consell with the participation of Valencian artists Novembre Elèctric, Sa Pena and Esther. An event that, as Valen Alcalà defended, they hope will become a tradition in the city. Almost at the same time, at 19:30, In the Library a poetry recital will take place by M. Josep Escrivà and with Miquel Pérez on the guitar.
El Saturday, October 7, at 12:00, will take place in the Plaza de la Constitució children's theater Poble Balls, by Estranya Companyia de Teatre. At 16:30 p.m., in Plaza Jaume I, Joventut organizes a series of activities for the whole family, with traditional games, a poetry recital and an outdoor escape room (the latter, free but with registration by calling 966423700 starting September 29). The day will conclude at 18:00 in the Plaza del Consell with the concert The meua terra en tribute to the career of Paco Muñoz, with the participation of Josep Aparicio, Ina Martí, Aitana Ferer, Xavi de Bétera, the Dénia Musical Artistic Group, Enric Murillo, César Murillo, Fraskito, Àlvar Calabuig and Ada Murillo.
