About
Sant Andreu's year-end festival fills the streets of Sant Andreu de Palomar with fire runs, traditional Catalan music, and giant parades over roughly ten days. The district's major celebration closes Barcelona's festa major calendar that opens with Sant Antoni in January, drawing families for the correfoc, the season's last giant parade, and lively street performances around Placa d'Orfila.
