Once again, Molins de Rei is preparing to dress up and host its long-awaited Festa Major. From March 3 to March 8, the streets will be filled with activities that celebrate the identity, tradition and festive spirit of the town. This edition promises to be one of the most memorable, with an extensive program designed to attract both locals and visitors, with proposals for all ages and tastes.
The strength of the roots: popular culture and tradition
The Festa Major of Molins de Rei is one of the celebrations that best preserves the essence of Catalan popular culture. The burst of the festival begins with the inaugural speech from the Town Hall, followed by the traditional parade with the participation of the Giants of the town, the big heads and the figures of the festive imagery.
The castellers will have a special role with a casteller day that will bring together the most prominent groups in the country, raising pillars and castles in the square to show their strength, balance and courage. There will also be diablos dances and the correfoc, which will fill the streets with fire and color on one of the most anticipated nights. These activities are not only shows, but represent the deep bond that the community has with its traditions.
Music and spectacle: rhythms for all nights
The musical program is one of the highlights of the Festa Major. Throughout the week, several stages will host free concerts ranging from the most traditional music to the most modern sounds.
-
The main stage in the Plaça de la Vila will host major concerts with renowned national figures, such as a night dedicated to Catalan rock or an evening of pop.
-
The alternative stage located around the Parc de la Mariona will host emerging bands and DJs, creating a perfect space for a younger and more contemporary atmosphere.
-
We cannot forget the night music in the open air, with jazz sessions or acoustic melodies in more intimate spaces.
Activities for the little ones and local gastronomy
The festival is also designed for families. During the weekend, craft workshops, traditional games and magic and clown shows will be organized, which will delight the little ones. The "La Festa dels Menuts" space will be a meeting point for families looking for recreational and educational activities.
In addition, local gastronomy will play an important role, with a fair of artisans and local products where you can taste a wide variety of culinary delights. It is an opportunity to discover the flavors of the territory and support local commerce.
The Festa Major of Molins de Rei is, in short, a great reason to go out, share moments with family and friends, and celebrate the sense of community. We invite you to consult the official program and participate in all the activities
