Ten days of music, art and dance, and of course popular culture: giants (with the emblematic parrot of 36), correfocs, parades, concerts, popular meals, children's workshops and sports championships. Check here the most important activities of the festival.

When the festivities of Gràcia end, the festivities of Sants begin, so whoever has not had enough or has not been able to go has a second chance, because although each has its own personality, also in the festivities of Sants the neighbors of the streets that participate decorate them in a similar way as it is done in the neighborhood of Gràcia. Among the novelties of the Festa Major is the transfer of the Fair from the surroundings of the Sants Station to the stretch of the Badal and Brasil boulevards between Daoiz y Velarde street and Madrid Avenue due to some works. The main events include the opening speech, awards, pyromusical, concerts, and cultural activities. The Punt Lila will be active every day to prevent and respond to macho aggressions.

The Festa Major de Gràcia 2024 will offer free activities for all audiences, with 23 decorated streets, workshops, concerts and shows. This year highlights the "quiet night" on August 18, without amplified concerts to respect the rest of the neighbors. The program includes inclusive activities for people with disabilities and an exhibition on unwanted loneliness. There will be a lilac point in the Revolution Square to support in cases of harassment or violence, and a selective collection of decorations will be implemented to promote sustainability.

In 2024, Amaia has released her third studio album, "Si abro los ojos no es real", an introspective and mature work that explores themes of love, heartbreak and self-discovery.

On February 21 and 22, 2025, Amaia will bring us what will be the biggest concerts of the artist from Pamplona to date in Barcelona.
