Sant Roc Festival

The Gothic Quarter’s annual neighbourhood celebrations called ‘Festes de Sant Roc’ (Festival of Saint Roch) were announced on 21 March 2017 as a ‘Patrimonial Festival of National Interest’. They are the oldest celebration of their kind in Barcelona, having been going since 1589.

From 11 to 16 August, the Gothic Quarter fills with tradition and history. The festivities take place for the most part on Plaça Nova. Many activities mark these days and make this celebration iconic, like the raising of the heraldic flag of Sant Roc; The ‘festa del gos’ (festival of the dog), and drinks from an unusually long porrón (a traditional drinking vessel in Catalonia) along with the traditional panellets.

This is the most traditional part of the festival. It takes place on the Saint Roch Day — 16 August — at 9:30PM. There will be various characters present, such as the fire-spitting ‘Diable’, eagle of the city, Lion of Barcelona, aforementioned Gegants, dwarf Cu-cut and wielders of the Patron Saint’s flags… among others. They march together toward the Basilica del Pi to participate in a sung mass in honour of the saint. They will also bless the panellets that will be shared among attendants.
