Local Festivals Calella
Calella has two town festivals:
- that of Sant Quirze and Santa Julita on the 16th June (patrons of the town)
- that of La Minerva, on the 23rd September.
The festival of patron saints on the 16th June is also known as the “little festival”. People come out to eat in the streets and all of Calella’s various organisations play a very active part in the different events.
The "Festa Major de la Minerva" on the 23rd September is the “big festival”. It has a bit of everything: the call to the festa major, the giants’ parade, the dance of the pubilla (the girl in traditional costume), outdoor bars for the young people, concerts and more.
Oktoberfest Calella
The tradition in Calella continues with the 36th edition of the Oktoberfest Calella 2025.
Come back to live in Calella one of the most authentic events; with exceptional beers, lively music and culinary delights in an incomparable setting.
Live a sea of emotion and tradition.
