Local festivals in Guissona

The Festa Major and the Sant Cristòfol celebrations sum up a calendar involving the Town Council, popular-culture groups, local organisations and residents.

Usual celebration

The Festa Major is usually celebrated in early September, with 8 September as its reference date. It lasts several days and uses the Església de Santa Maria, Plaça Major, Plaça Bisbe Benlloch, the sports area and other town venues for bell ringing, a parade of giants and big-head figures, an opening speech, sardanes, castellers, concerts and family events.

Other events and cultural dates

The Sant Cristòfol festival preserves the Tres Tombs circuit and the blessing of vehicles. A parade with the Colla Gegantera and a brass band precedes Mass, the procession and the decorated-vehicle competition, with municipal representatives and residents taking part.
