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.
