The event will be divided into several thematic sections representing the most iconic elements of the festival. The first section, entitled "Som Història," will commemorate the lost comparsas and traditional costumes that are no longer part of the current "entrances." This will be followed by a reenactment of the "Entrada de Bandas" (Bands' Entrance), featuring a special performance dedicated to Maestro Ferrero, composer of the Moorish march "Chimo," performed by the Ontinyent Artistic Musical Union.

The parade will continue with the representation of the Christian Entrance and the Moorish Entrance, with a staging that will captivate both festivalgoers and spectators. There will also be sections dedicated to other emblematic events, such as the Embassies, the Descent of Christ, and the Smuggling, and another section called "Publication" to announce the Festival of International Tourist Interest designation.

The parade's climax will be the joint performance of the Moorish march "Chimo" by all the participating bands. The day will conclude with a grand celebration organized by the City Council, featuring a live performance by the local group Germans Brothers and a mobile disco.
