Third year in the Plaça Major
The aim of La Nucía Town Hall and the Association of Pensions with the “Great New Year's Eve Party” was to recover the tradition of celebrating the “entry of the year and eating grapes” in the Plaça Major, hearing the chimes of the Church clock, which had been lost and was recovered in 2022. This is the third consecutive year that this Great New Year's Eve Party has been held, all day long in the Plaça Major of La Nucía, and it is expected to become more established over the years.
Grapes, party favors and free hot chocolate
The La Nucía Town Hall will give all attendees free of charge the “12 jelly beans” for the rehearsal of the 12 chimes at 12 noon, the grapes and party favors for the New Year's Eve chimes and the hot chocolate at 3 in the morning.
Visit of the Royal Page
At 13:00 the Royal Page of Their Majesties the Kings of the East will visit the Plaça Major to collect letters from the children of La Nucía. Remember that the Three Kings' parade in La Nucía will be on Sunday 5th January from 18:00.
