About this event

The Sant Josep Oriol Festivities transform the Pi neighbourhood into a vibrant stage for popular culture, tradition and fun. From 14 to 23 March, the streets fill with music, colour and joy with activities for all audiences. Giants, street processions and traditional music create a unique festive atmosphere, while younger children enjoy workshops and games.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments is the re-enactment of the «robberies of Perot lo Lladre», a historical character from the neighbourhood, which combines theatre and humour. The Sant Josep Oriol altarpiece, a performance honouring the life and miracles of the saint, also stands out. In addition, activities such as «Emmulassa’t» and the «Bestieses» parade add a magical touch to the celebration.

The popular chocolate coins, which commemorate one of the miracles attributed to the saint, cannot be missed. These treats are handed out among attendees, becoming a sweet symbol of the festivities. Do not miss the opportunity to take part in this event if you are in the city of Barcelona. These festivities are a perfect opportunity to learn about Barcelona's culture, enjoy the city's traditions and share unforgettable moments in one of the city's neighbourhoods.
