Now here are some of them:
La Festa Major:
This festival starts in September and lasts a week.
There are contents, people can dance, and many other difererent acts. It's a very popular festival, and all the village participate in the acts.
Sant Joan:
We celebrate Sant Joan (like in all the towns in Catalunya), but there aren’t fires in the street, because they aren’t allowed
Setmana Santa: (The Easter)
Setmana Santa (Holly Week). We don’t go to school in these days. We celebrate specially the Easter day!! (on Monday).
Santa Joaquima
This is a special Festival in our village and in our school.
Santa Joaquima founded the Vedruna Schools in Catalunya, and the
Vedruna schools celebrate Santa Joaquima’s day in the 22nd of May.In our school we have fun: in the morning we go to mass, and then we have a solidarity breakfast. Then we watch a play.
In the afternoon we play different games!
We like Santa Joaquima!!..
