Valencian 9 d’Octubre: ‘Vixca’ Campaign Unveiled, Security Operation Expanded

The centenary of the regional hymn drives the official message, with a reinforced police deployment exceeding 2,000 officers.

Overview

  • The Generalitat launched a 9 d’Octubre campaign built around the regional hymn using the slogan “Vixca, vixca, vixca,” a non‑normative form not recognized by the AVL, which maintains “visca.”
  • President Carlos Mazón called the wording a historical nod and confirmed he will take part in the Processó Cívica, with the official awards set at the Palau de la Generalitat and a focus on recognizing DANA responders.
  • Authorities detailed an enlarged security plan for Valencia that tops 2,000 personnel, including about 1,800 National Police and 500 local resources, after officials described the social climate as “convulso.”
  • Valencia’s program features a medieval market from October 4, a giants-and-bigheads parade, the civic procession with the Senyera and a post‑procession mascletà by Pirotecnia Tamarit, plus a fireworks display from the Monteolivete bridge at 23:59 on October 8.
  • Municipalities across the region published full schedules; Torrent will debut the new geganta Amparín Miquel, Sagunt adds a multi‑day medieval market and honors, and Ontinyent and Xàtiva roll out concerts, dances and institutional acts, with the Generalitat also planning a 200‑drone show at the City of Arts and Sciences.
