Festes de Santa Agueda, Sencelles
Traditional festival honouring Sencelles' patron saint, Saint Agatha
More than a week of celebrations in the small town of Sencelles with activities and entertainment for the whole family. Highlights include a parade and a 'correfoc' or fire run. There will also be live music, performances and a market.
The Festes de Santa Àgueda bring several days of celebration to the village of Sencelles, with activities and entertainment designed for the whole family. Highlights typically include colourful parades, live music, performances, market stalls and the traditional Correfoc - a lively fire run that fills streets with light, sound and excitement.
One of the main moments of the festivities is the parade of floats and participating groups, which usually takes place over the weekend. The route traditionally winds through the heart of the village, passing key squares and streets before ending with evening celebrations, children’s entertainment and an awards ceremony.
Santa Àgueda is traditionally revered as a protector of women and is often associated with nursing and care. Born in Catania, Sicily, in the 3rd century, she dedicated her life to her faith and is remembered for her courage and resilience. Her feast day is celebrated on 5 February, and the festivities in Sencelles reflect both religious tradition and local cultural heritage.
Please note: exact dates, times and routes can vary each year, so it’s always worth checking the local programme before attending.
