Don't miss the Igualada Festival!
Over the course of several days, the streets are filled with activities designed for all ages, from the youngest to the oldest, with offerings that combine shows, workshops, exhibitions, and parades.
Colorful parades await you, along with giants and big-heads dancing to applause, vibrant correfocs (fire runs), family shows, workshops for the little ones, and concerts that will keep you dancing until the early hours. The program is varied and designed for everyone: there are children's activities, theater performances, exhibitions, human towers (castells), and much more. No matter your age or where you come from —the Igualada Festival invites you to be part of its magic.
You'll also be able to discover the richness of popular culture, with traditional dances, the sound of jackdaws, and the power of festive imagery. And if you're looking for thrills, there's no shortage of activities like the open rehearsals of the Moixiganguers, the fireworks display, and live music on the city's stages.
Come experience an authentic, welcoming party full of surprises!
