Festa Major de Blanes (Saint Anna’s Day)

Festa Major de Blanes (Saint Anna’s Day)
July 25 - July 26, Blanes

Blanes holds its main holiday on July 26 when it celebrates Saint Anne, the town’s patron saint. Festivities stretch for over a week and encompass the weekend closest to the important day.

The programme of Festa Major de Blanes includes traditional Catalan entertainments like “running with fire” (correfoc), Sardana dancing, the march of Giants (gegants) and the Big Heads (capgrossos), but the highlight of the week is the fireworks.

Costa Brava International Fireworks Competition (Concurs internacional de focs d’artifici de la Costa Brava) takes place at the end of July, just in time for the Festa Major.
