About
Festa Major d'Horta runs for ten days in early September around Sant Gaudenci, a feast the town of Horta vowed in 1731. The program mixes street parades, concerts, a big correfoc, a diada castellera and closing fireworks with a full kids' strand: a hot-chocolate breakfast, a children's concert, a kids' correfoc, Kapla building blocks, children's cinema and a kids' magic show.
