International Folkloric Days in La Torre de Claramunt
The International Folklore Days of Catalonia have the fundamental objective of promoting and revitalizing the popular culture of our country and also introducing Catalonia to the folklore of other parts of the world through various cultural exchanges. These days are an excellent opportunity to enjoy the cultural diversity and traditions that unite us.
The town of La Torre de Claramunt, located in the Anoia region, joins these festivities, offering you the opportunity to enjoy folk groups from other countries. This town, with its rich historical and cultural heritage, is an ideal venue for events that foster intercultural exchange.
This folk festival was founded in 1972 in Barcelona, within the Esbart Lluís Millet, under the name Jornadas Internacionales Folklóricas (JIF). Since then, it has been a meeting point for folk groups from all over the world, who alternate their performances with those of local groups. The motto "The dances of the people for our people" reflects the desire to unite cultures through music and dance.
The festival is not only an opportunity to enjoy performances, but also to participate in workshops and activities that allow attendees to learn more about the traditions and customs of other cultures. This fosters an atmosphere of respect and exchange that enriches all participants.
If you're passionate about culture and folklore, don't miss this unique opportunity. We'll be waiting for you!
