SANT JOAN FESTIVAL
Since ancient times, we welcome the summer solstice with celebrations of fire. We light bonfires the shortest night of the year in honour of the sun and to ward off evil spirits, and it is common to get rid of old furniture and unwanted items as a symbol of life renovation and purification. Saint John's Eve is a magical night where the city dresses in its best to celebrate the official beginning of summer, with fireworks, sparklers and dancing until sunrise.
Sant Pere Summer Festival in Tossa de Mar
From June 26th to 30th June Tossa celebrates the Summer Festival in honor of Sant Pere, the patron saint of fishermen. Events such as the singing of habaneras, the listening of sardanas with the Flame de Farners or the traditional procession of Sant Pere coincide in dates with the Rumba and Catalan song festival, the Children's Amusement Fair, the bonfire of Sant Joan or the gastronomic campaign of Noodles in the Casserole. A great way to welcome the summer and reconnect with the party, the culture and our traditions.
