LVII Festa des Vermar 2023

From Wednesday, September 6 to October 21, exhibitions, sporting events, competitions and parades of floats make up the program of events of the LVII Festa des Vermar 2023 which is held once again in the wine-growing municipality of Binissalem around the culture of the grape

The proclamation of festivities in front of the Ajuntament de Binissalem and a massive battle of grapes -in which last year hundreds of young people threw almost 15 tons of clusters- give the official start on Saturday, September 16 to the LVII Festa des Vermar 2023, although the program of celebrations begins tomorrow, Wednesday, September 6.

For the moment, Binissalem already has its new ‘Vermadores’ and ‘Vermadors’ 2023 when 1,210 residents of all ages voted electronically at the Town Hall to choose among the 23 young people who presented their candidacy to represent the municipality in the Festa des Vermar 2023.

Those elected as ‘Vermadors’ were Claudia Ripoll Moyà – who will be the ‘Vermadora Major’ – Mercè Sacarés Aguayo and Laia Bestard Carbonell, and as ‘Vermadors’, Salvador Moyà Vadell and Jaume Company Ingla.

The popular celebrations begin tomorrow, Wednesday, September 6 and last until October 21. These are some of the most outstanding events that fill with life these days the town of Binissalem:
