The city of Oliva is preparing for its 14th Festa Estellés, a cultural celebration scheduled for September 26th in Plaça de la Bassa.

The Oliva City Council, through its Linguistic Promotion and Culture departments, with the collaboration of Acció Cultural del PV, has organized a special edition of the Festa Estellés.
The 'Nit Estellés' (Estellés Night) will begin at 8:00 PM in the Plaça de la Bassa. The event will feature the traditional recitation of verses by Vicent Andrés Estellés and a potluck dinner open to everyone.
This year, the festival will include the presence of Carmina Andrés, the poet's daughter, and an exhibition dedicated to Estellés curated by writer and philologist Josep Ballester. The celebration will be rounded off with a musical performance by Borja Penalba.
Miquel Lleches, a prominent promoter of the festival, will once again serve as the master of ceremonies for this cultural celebration, which marks its 14th edition.
