The Burriana City Council is finalizing preparations for the patron saint festivals honoring the Virgen de la Misericordia, starting September 4th, with the assembly of 90 temporary stands for bullfighting events.

The assembly of the 90 stands, which will host the bullfighting events, has already begun by the fan clubs. To reduce noise impact and inconvenience to residents, the work will be carried out in two phases. Between August 31st and September 1st, the main enclosure will be erected, ready for the first safety inspection on Wednesday the 2nd. The stairs will be assembled on Thursday, September 3rd, at 7:00 PM, leaving everything prepared for eight days of bullfighting events, including bulls and street runs.
A notable initiative for inclusion is the installation of an adapted stand in the Plaza Mayor. This structure, assembled since 2006, will allow individuals with reduced mobility and intellectual disabilities to enjoy the bullfighting events in a safe environment. The Association Colectivo de Discapacitados de Burriana (ACODIS) will manage the shifts in this space, calling for civility.
The Councilor for Festivals, Paloma Boix, highlighted the municipal government's commitment to safe and comprehensive festivities. "We are working to have safe festivals, analyzing every decision in detail and with a complete program so that no one stays home and we can enjoy our big week," she stated.
