The countdown is on to a big October in Patraix!
From September 17 to October 12, 2026, the Patraix neighborhood will fill with music, culture, history and plenty of solidarity for the 32nd edition of its Popular Festivities, this year under the motto «Patraix, barri divers» (Patraix, a diverse neighborhood).
Although the full programme will be revealed very soon, the event is already warming up to offer you unforgettable days.
As tradition dictates, the streets will be taken over by the iconic parade of giants and big-heads, fireworks displays, guided routes, competitions, verbenas, children's workshops, bell-ringing and large popular meals.
And watch out, because the celebration will continue from October 8 to 12 around Plaza de Patraix with the «Craft, Food and NGO Fair 2026», an ideal space to discover excellent-quality, handmade products at good prices, while also getting to know the work carried out by the participating NGOs.
