The district of Les Corts celebrates its Festa Major 2024 with music, concerts, shows, dances, contests, games, sports and popular culture.

Among the most outstanding events of the Festival of Les Corts are the correfoc unitary, the morning of celebration with the dance of the Àliga de la Ciutat, the diada castellera and the exhibition of traditional dance that is organized in the monastery of Pedralbes.
Activities and highlights
Toc d'inici
Mapping, dance and fire show on the façade of the District's headquarters.
This show reflects on the dehumanization of society due to digitalization and the excessive use of social networks and artificial intelligence. Inspired by the descent into hell in Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, the show vindicates life and art in the street, and open and participatory popular culture. Directed by the visual creator and choreographer Toni Mira and playwright Jaume Bernadet.
