Carnival February 19th to 25th. Parades on February 22nd & 24th.
For over 100 years, Sitges has been celebrating Carnival. Sitges goes crazy with activity. In fact, its often said that Sitges Carnival is the wildest pary on Earth, and certainly, if you've been to it, you'll know why. The two most important moments of Sitges Carnival are the Rua de la Disbauxa, or the Debauchery Parade, on Sunday night and the Rua de l‘Extermini, or Extermination Parade, on Tuesday night. Some forty-odd floats with more than 2,000 participants leave a jam-packed Sitges completely awe stricken.

 San Juan
San Juan June 23rd.
Midsummer in Catalonia is celebrated with a big bang, as fireworks fill the sky in a prelude to the national holiday of the Feast of John the Baptist. Each neighbourhood stages fireworks and all night bonfires are fueled by collections of old furniture, but the biggest celebration is at Monjuice in Barcelona, with a fabulous firework display and a colossal bonfire. It's well worth a trip to Barcelona for this one, to watch the fireworks, then go on to the biggest gay beach party of the year!

 Fiesta Mayor.
Fiesta Mayor August 21st to 27th. (Firework display on the 23rd.)
This carnival is worth seeing! 'Fiesta Mayor' means 'Main Carnival', and it really is! The total disrespect for safety is what makes it so exciting. Fire crackers are being lit left, right and center and aimed in every direction. The dragons which have fire crackers in their mouths even chase you! You'll see most people are wearing straw hats, that's to make sure their eyes don't get burned out!
