Event
Festa Major of the Old Town in the Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighbourhood
Barcelona's Festa Major del Casc Antic is renewed with an edition full of activities and traditions that bring the community together in a vibrant cultural display. The celebration begins with a colourful cercavila led by the neighbourhood's emblematic Gegants.
About this event
Everything begins with the Gegants del Casc Antic, guardians of tradition, who this year not only parade their centuries-old elegance but also deliver the opening proclamation, giving voice to the spirit of the neighbourhood from Centre Cívic Convent de Sant Agustí. From there, the festival unfolds like a multicoloured tapestry: open days at cultural spaces, workshops, games, neighbourhood food and music in all its forms.
The commercial square will become an open-air jazz club, and the chords of Vivaldi will envelop the parish of Sant Pere de les Puel·les. On the night of 23 June, Passeig Lluís Companys will blaze with the Canigó flame, the prelude to a popular verbena where fire will be only the beginning: concerts, DJs and women neighbours dancing with the city as their dance floor.
