Local festivals of Sarria
Usual celebration
The patronal San Xoán festivities usually last five days around 24 June. The municipal tradition brings together religious, cultural, musical and sporting events, the medieval market and the Pampónigas. On the night of the 23rd, the Noite do Lume combines a communal queimada and a large bonfire; the Town Council, associations and cultural groups, residents, visitors and pilgrims take part in events around the town's streets and public spaces.
Other cultural events
The Noite Meiga, organised on the last Saturday in August in Parque do Chanto by the Meigas e Trasgos Cultural Centre with municipal support, brings together dance, music, fire and the traditional conxuro. Fairs, concerts and activities linked to the Camino de Santiago complete the cultural calendar during the year.
