La Bisbal del Penedès prepared to host the inaugural Concurs de Quarts Amunt, a biennial human tower (castells) competition scheduled for September 19. The initiative, driven by the Domenys Ràdio program, was designed to provide a competitive space for specific groups, specifically the ‘high gamma of 6 and the basic gamma of 7’, while aiming to increase visibility for more modest groups.

During the Festa Major de la Bisbal del Penedès, the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls achieved a historic milestone by completing the first ‘4d9 sense folre’ (a four-person tower on a nine-person base without a support ring) in the history of the square. Other participating groups, including Castellers de Vilafranca and Bous de la Bisbal, also performed various towers, while the Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls encountered difficulties during their attempts.
