The summer Festa Major is usually celebrated over five days around the first weekend in August. The streets, Plaça Major, Espai Muriel Casals and the Castle area host an opening speech, correfoc, giants and big-head figures, concerts, neighbourhood dinners and heritage events organised by the Town Council, associations and local groups.
Sant Andreu Festa Major
Around 30 November, the Sant Andreu Festa Major lasts for several days with solemn mass in the parish church, popular culture, performances and the Fira Joc Joc. Sant Andreu's status as patron is documented in the consecration of the Castle church in 888, while the Town Council and associations have expanded the community side of the celebration.
