Event Description
Event location: Barri de Sant Roc - Plaça Nova by Barcelona cathedral Festesde Sant Roc de la Plaça Nova, (also called Festa Major de Sant Roc) is Barcelona's oldest festival which has been celebrating Saint Roch for an amazing 423 years since 1589. The main festivities take place on Plaça Nova by Barcelona cathedral. You can see many Catalan festival traditions like the festival procession "El Seguici de sant Roc," "sardanas" dancing, "havanares" sea shanty singing groups, a "correfoc" firerun, "castellars" human tower building, "puntaires" lacemaking, "gegants" giants dance and the traditional dog show "La festa del gos." Two highlights are "la cucanya" contest, which involves walking over a greasy pole - and drinking contest "glops amb el porró llarg" where wine is drunk from a big version of the typical spouted porró wine carafe. See the links below for full programme of activities. In 2012 the San Roc festival celebrates the 30th anniversary of the gegants group "Colla de la plaça Nova." © 2012 Copyright Barcelonayellow.com.
