Event Description

Festa Major de Sants 2011                
 Tweet this All Barcelona events
Local festival in Sants neighbourhood of Bcn
Event dates: Saturday 20 August 2011 to Sunday 28 August 2011.
 Event location: Sants district of Barcelona

Just as the Festa Major de Gracia ends another big neighbourhood Festa Major starts in the Sants district of Barcelona. Although not quite as famous as Gracia festival,  the "Festa Major de Sants" is worth visiting.  Many of the main activities take place in "Parque de la España Industrial" and over 10 streets in Sants are decorated by the residents in colourful themes. A Catalan celebrity usually opens the festival at the "Parque de la España Industrial" and there are many chances to see Catalan traditions like correfocs - fireruns, castellers - human tower building, Gegants and capgrossos  - giants and other Catalan festival traditions. Highlights of the Sants Festa Major are the Sants festival bike race called the Cursa Ciclista 'Memorial Antoni Andrés Sancho - which celebrates its 30th annivesary in 2011. Also popular is the running event called "El 2000 de Sants - Cursa atlètica de la Festa Major" which is a 2k run (2 circuits of 1000 metres.) Both the bike race and the run are usually on the last Sunday of the festival. The Sants neighbourhood festival ends with a fireworks and music display. Check the Festa Major Sants website below for daily programme of all activities and map of decorated streets.
