What you need to know

  • Ten days of programming, so you can dip in on weekends without committing to the full run
  • Hands-on workshops and games, not passive stall-walking; kids make bracelets, play button football, learn body percussion
  • Pet blessing on Tres Tombs day, a rare chance to include your animal in a neighborhood tradition

About

Festa Major de Sant Antoni is the year's first major neighborhood festival, running mid-to-late January with free events across music, theater, sports, and traditional Catalan culture. The centerpiece is Tres Tombs, a procession of horses, mules, and carriages where families bring pets to be blessed by Sant Antoni, the patron saint of animals. The program includes live concerts, workshops, children's shows, food stalls, giants, sardana dancing, and correfoc fire runs.
