Saint George in Tárrega

The city of Tàrrega dresses up in literary gala this Sant Jordi!

The program kicks off with the opening of an exhibition dedicated to Xavier Garcia, launching a series of activities focused on language, memory, and literary creation. From there, the city hosts events such as poetry readings, discussions, and gatherings where poetry and thought take center stage. Highlights include the "Little Poetry Room," an intimate and personal format, as well as a discussion dedicated to exploring Garcia's life and work in greater depth.

The program also includes more open and participatory activities, such as open mic sessions for poetry and literature and the dynamism of poetry slams, which bring a contemporary and vibrant perspective to literary creation. All of this forms a diverse journey that connects different generations and ways of understanding culture.

Sant Jordi's Day becomes the central event, with streets filled with stalls selling books and roses, as well as spaces dedicated to local publications and cultural activities open to everyone. The festive and literary atmosphere is complemented by creative initiatives such as collaborative presentations that strengthen the connection with culture.

The program culminates with unique proposals such as the rumba route dedicated to Xavier Garcia and the inauguration of a space that bears his name, consolidating a tribute that transcends the specific celebration and projects itself into time.

Tàrrega offers a rich, diverse and exciting Sant Jordi, where literature, music and citizen participation merge to celebrate culture in its purest form.

We're waiting for you!
