La Colla Vella unloads the 3d9f at the Montblanc festival

The Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls has completed the 3d9f in the first round in Montblanc. The milestone occurred during a performance framed within the Decennial Festivities of the Mare de Déu de la Serra, following the announcement of the event at Plaça Major (Montblanc).

Everything had started with a call published on 09/05/2026 15:06 UTC, titled “DIADA AT MONTBLANC!”. The next day, the result of the first round gave concrete shape to the day: the Colla Vella completed the 3d9f. A strong start.

An event announced in Montblanc

The Colla Vella’s call

The Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls announced their participation in Montblanc with a post that set the place and time of the performance. The message indicated “09/06”, pointed to “Plaça Major (Montblanc)” and scheduled the event at “Diada - 12:00 h”.

The communication also identified the other groups associated with the appointment: @torrairesmontblanc and @jovesvalls. The hashtags #castells and #collavella completed the message, which presented the meeting as a castell day in the capital of Conca de Barberà.

The framework of the Decennial Festivities

The performance was not an isolated event. According to the subsequent communication from Colla Vella, the day took place “within the framework of the Decennial Festivities of the Mare de Déu de la Serra.” This context gives the event its own festive dimension, linked to a specific celebration in Montblanc.

The information published after the performance is dated 09/06/2026 17:07 UTC and confirms that Colla Vella had performed in Montblanc. The sequence is clear: first the call was disseminated, and later the result of the first round was reported.

The 3d9f opens the day

A castell completed in the first round

The central sporting fact of the day is the castell that the group completed in the first turn. Colla Vella themselves expressed it this way: “Today we performed in Montblanc, within the framework of the Decennial Festivities of the Mare de Déu de la Serra! In the first round we completed the 3d9f.”

The code for the castell appears literally as 3d9f. There is no need for much embellishment: the structure was completed and it was done right away, a detail that concentrates much of the interest in the report.

A specific fact, without further confirmed results

The available sources explain the announcement of the event and the result of the first round but do not provide information about subsequent rounds or other castells, pillars, or groups that might have participated. For this reason, the report is limited to what has been directly communicated.

This precision is especially relevant on a castell day. A partial result doesn’t allow the reconstruction of the entire performance, and adding elements not published would alter the narrative. What is confirmed is the 3d9f completed in the first round by Colla Vella in Montblanc.

From the announcement to the result

The sequence of publications

The first post, dated 09/05/2026 15:06 UTC, served to call the event on “09/06” at “Plaça Major (Montblanc)”, with the schedule “Diada - 12:00 h”. It was the informational starting point of the day.

The second communication, published on 09/06/2026 17:07 UTC, already spoke in the immediate past: “Today we performed in Montblanc…”. Between one entry and the other is the shift from forecast to result, with the 3d9f as the confirmed castell protagonist.

A report marked by caution

The photograph accompanying the post is credited to Marc Felip. It is the only explicitly identified authorship in the sources, while the rest of the data focus on the presence of Colla Vella, the location of the performance, the festive framework, and the castell completed.

Thus, the event can be explained with four elements: Montblanc as the setting, Plaça Major as the announced space, the Decennial Festivities of the Mare de Déu de la Serra as the framework, and the 3d9f as the first communicated result. The rest remains pending data that is not part of the available sources.

The day leaves a clear image: Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls arrived in Montblanc, performed within the Decennial Festivities of the Mare de Déu de la Serra, and completed the 3d9f in the first round. With the published information, this is the core of the event: a concrete call, a recognizable setting, and a first castell successfully resolved.
