What does it involve
The Casa de la Festa Major is the place where you can deepen your knowledge of the festival and experience the sensations felt during the five most
anticipated days in Vilafranca.
In this space, you will find a display of festive imagery and bestiary pieces, as well as information about the dances, the
casteller groups, the protagonists, and the various traditional events that are part of this festival, which has been declared a Festival of National Heritage
Interest since 1991.
The Collection
The Festa Major of Vilafranca has a festive procession that is one of the longest in Catalonia and one that has endured the most over time.
It is composed of 21 elements, including fire groups, bestiary and imagery, dances, and human towers (one group of Falcons, three of castells, and one
Ball de Moixiganga). Among these, the elements that appeared in the Corpus Christi procession in the early 17th century and are part of the procession – the Drac (dragon), Gegants (giants), Àliga (eagle), and Cotonines – stand out, along with the peculiar, unique, and original Nans (dwarfs) and Capgrossos (big heads).
Additionally, the Children's Festa Major has its own pieces, which are small replicas of those used in the Festa Major.
