Firagost

Food and drink · Valls, Alt Camp, Tarragona

Firagost is the agricultural fair of Valls, held on the first Tuesday and Wednesday of August, with a display of seasonal produce, machinery and farm products from the Camp de Tarragona; it is one of the oldest and most popular agricultural events in the comarca. The festival closes with the Firagost castells gathering, in the Plaça del Blat, the kilometre zero of the castells world, on the first Wednesday of August: the two Valls colles have performed there since 1956, and since the early 1980s the gathering has gained greater importance. It has seen extra-range castells, such as the 3 de 8 aixecat per baix or the 2 de 9 amb folre i manilles; the best performance was that of the Colla Vella in 2016, with the 4 de 9 amb folre i pilar, the 3 de 10 amb folre i manilles and the 5 de 9 amb folre.
