Festa Major of Argentona, also known for the Fira de l'Àngel and its decorated fountains. It is held to coincide with the feast of Saint Dominic, on 4 August. The tradition goes back to a legend according to which the saint blessed the infected water of a well, which became miraculous; in his memory, water is distributed in traditional pitchers, the occasion for popular games. In the past the festival also coincided with the International Ceramics and Pottery Fair, now moved to early July under the name Argillà.
