Festivals in Mataró

Local festivals in Mataró

Les Santes, honouring Juliana and Semproniana, are Mataró's principal Festa Major; the May Fira and seafront events broaden the city's festive calendar.

Usual celebration

Les Santes are usually celebrated around 27 July and last several days. The principal places are the historic centre, Basílica de Santa Maria, Parc Central, Passeig Marítim and Platja del Varador, which host the Crida, cercaviles, gegants, castells, correfocs, concerts, fireworks, religious events and family activities. The City Council organises them with comparses, colles, cultural groups, artists, volunteers, residents and visitors.

Other cultural events

Other events include Fira de Mataró, seafront cultural activities and the programme of museums, theatres and local groups, which maintain spring and summer dates outside the main Les Santes period.
