The story

Festa Major Escaldes-Engordany in Escaldes-Engordany

Escaldes-Engordany's Festa Major runs 25 and 26 July around the feast days of Sant Jaume and Santa Anna, centred on performances by the Esbart Santa Anna folk dance group and its children's branch at Plaça Santa Anna and along Avinguda Carlemany, a mass honouring Santa Anna at the Church of Sant Pere Màrtir, markets, concerts and sports tournaments.

A folk dance group named specifically for the parish's patron saint, the Esbart Santa Anna, performs at Plaça Santa Anna and along Avinguda Carlemany as the centrepiece of Escaldes-Engordany's Festa Major, held on 25 and 26 July around the feast days of Sant Jaume and Santa Anna.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The direct naming link between the parish's patron saint, Santa Anna, and its resident folk dance troupe, the Esbart Santa Anna, including a dedicated children's branch, gives this festa a specific, ongoing cultural institution behind its dance programme rather than a group booked only for the occasion

02

The mystery stays covered

The Pubillatge's participation, young parish representatives taking part in civic and religious events, adds a further named, tradition-specific element beyond the general markets and concerts common to most parish festivals
