Tàrrega May Festival

Experience the May Festival of Tàrrega!

A massive celebration of tradition, culture, and community in honor of local patron saints. The Tàrrega City Council and the city's associations have prepared an extensive program for audiences of all ages.

Popular culture, music, children's activities and many more attractions consolidate the Fiesta Mayor of Tàrrega as one of the benchmark celebrations in the lands of Lleida.

The festivities kick off with official events such as the opening proclamation and the ringing of the bells, officially launching several days of vibrant celebration. From the very beginning, Tàrrega transforms into a grand festive stage with concerts, shows, and interactive activities. Among the highlights are innovative initiatives like Targa Bongo, which turns the main square into an interactive space for music and games, as well as concerts featuring local bands and emerging artists.

Popular culture plays a central role in the celebration. Events such as the procession of the Holy Thorns, the Ball de l'Eixida, and the giants' gatherings connect the community with its roots and strengthen their sense of belonging. There is also room for traditional events like the Sardana Gathering and festive activities such as the fire run, the Night of the Tararot, and the pub crawl.

In addition, the program includes sporting activities such as the Half Marathon, culinary offerings like Firacoc—dedicated to coca de recapte— and workshops or family shows. This variety ensures that people of all ages will find something to enjoy at the festival.

The Fiesta Mayor of Tàrrega is much more than a celebration; it is a reflection of the city's collective identity, an opportunity to reconnect, enjoy, and keep traditions alive, while incorporating new proposals to continue making it grow year after year.
