Bétera experienced one of the most solemn and emotional moments on the afternoon of August 22 with the traditional Procession of the Eighth , a particularly significant event because it marks the beginning of the farewell of the Workers and Mayors 2026 after an intense year leading up to the August Festivities.
The day also had some very special protagonists. The new Obreres 2027 , chosen a few hours earlier through the traditional Bolletes ceremony, participated in the procession alongside the representatives of 2026. In this news we also share some of the images left by the Procession of the Eighth, an afternoon full of symbolism, tradition and sentiment.
The Procession of the Eighth marks the end of unforgettable festivities
After eleven days of intense activity, Bétera faced the end of its big festivities on August 22. The Procession of the Eighteenth once again occupied a central place in this last day, bringing together the protagonists of the celebrations and numerous residents.
The event represents one of the most recollected moments of the August Festival and contrasts with the atmosphere of music, gunpowder and celebration that characterizes much of the program. It is also a particularly emotional event for the Workers and Mayors of the year, aware that their stage as the highest representatives of the festival is reaching its final moments.
After months of preparations and an August full of experiences, the Workers and Mayorals 2026 thus began their official farewell.
Les Obreres 2027 participate for the first time
One of the most special highlights of the afternoon was the presence of the four new Workers of the August 2027 Festivities, who had been revealed during the traditional distribution of the Bolletes.
Daniela Català i Aparisi, Mabel Arnal i Giménez, Alejandra Campos i García and María Cáceres i Soriano participated in the procession, symbolically initiating a new stage in the festive history of Bétera .
Their presence together with the representatives of 2026 allowed us to contemplate one of the most representative images of the day: two generations of Workers sharing the same tradition, some preparing to say goodbye and the others beginning the path that will culminate in the August Festivities next year.
Tradition and generational change in Bétera
The Procession of the Eighth is also a demonstration of Bétera 's ability to transmit its traditions between generations. The end of a festival does not only mean a farewell, but also the beginning of the preparation for the next one.
In this way, the afternoon was marked by a mixture of feelings. For the Workers and Mayors of 2026 it meant looking back and remembering everything they had experienced; for the new representatives of 2027, it meant starting a stage that will make them protagonists of the festive life of the municipality over the coming months.
