"El 9 d’Octubre és una data molt especial que al Poble Nou vivim al carrer. Esta festa és la millor mostra del teixit associatiu tan viu que tenim, ja que són les mateixes agrupacions locals les que s’impliquen per a oferir una jornada plena de cultura, tradició i germanor."

Jorge Pascual · Councillor of Culture

"Hem preparat un programa molt variat per a totes les edats, des del tardeo de la vespra fins als actes centrals del dia 9. Volem agrair especialment als Festers 2027 i a totes les associacions la seua dedicació per a fer d’esta celebració un gran èxit."
