Igualada Main Festival

Activity · Igualada, Anoia, Barcelona

The Festa Major of Igualada (Anoia, Barcelona) is celebrated in August in honour of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, patron saint of the city, whose feast day falls on 24 August. The programme includes children's and youth theatre, visits to notable buildings in the city, the presentation of the Salero and the Saleret, correfocs, sardanas and human-tower (castellers) displays by the Moixiganguers, as well as the dance of the Eagle of Igualada. Several giant troupes also take part, among them the Gegants d'Igualada (1943), the gegants of Sant Ignasi/Xauxa, those of the Barri del Poble Sec (1950) and the Eagle of Igualada itself (Àliga d'Igualada, 2005).
