To celebrate the 650th anniversary (or more) of the first documented appearance of the Àliga de la Ciutat, the City's Eagle, the Àliga de la Vila de Gràcia and the Colomí de Sant Andreu are invited to take part in a parade through the central streets of Barcelona and commemorate this anniversary with a big party!

During 2024 and 2025 we will be celebrating the 650th (or more) anniversary of the first documented appearance of the Barcelona Eagle, which took part in Royal ceremonies and city festivals and which was the city's most solemn festive act.

This exceptional street parade, featuring Barcelona's three crowned birds, will set off from the avinguda de la Cateadral at 5.45 pm. Before that, the Àliga de la Ciutat, the Àliga de la Vila de Gràcia and the Colomí de Sant Andreu, will perform its own ceremonial dance at 17.30 pm, following which the parade will set off through the streets of the Gothic Quarter. In Plaça de Garriga i Bachs, the Àliga de la Vila de Gràcia will perform its show dance, followed by the Colomí (Pigeon), which will perform its ceremonial dance on Plaça del Rei.

The event to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the Àliga de Barcelona will conclude in Plaça de Sant Jaume at 7.00 pm with the final dances in which the three figures will give their best performances to commemorate the anniversary and bring to a close a fun and rather different street parade featuring all sorts of dances and music, which we can all join in.

Following the spectacular and intense Santa Eulàlia Fire Run, the devils and beasts will stop shooting fire from their mouths to make way for Lo Puto Cat!

The enigmatic Catalan music producer is famous for his original and innovative style, and for fusing genres ranging from trap, electronica, and hip-hop to traditional Catalan sounds. Wherever he goes he brings the party with him, with his remixes of popular Catalan songs and his identity shrouded in mystery, his face hidden behind a skull mask and traditional Catalan hat.

With a charismatic personality, a strong presence on social media and an irreverent sense of humour, Lo Puto Cat has become a leading figure on the Catalan music scene, thanks to his authenticity and his capacity to innovate without losing his local essence, connecting with young and alternative audiences.

Lo Puto Cat bids farewell to the stage with a tour that will continue throughout 2025. For this reason, his appearance at the Santa Eulàlia Festivities is a huge privilege! Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the launch of his project, the tour 10 anys són suficients per dir-vos que us estimo (Ten years is enough to tell you that I love you) offers us the chance to enjoy one fantastic final show in Plaça de Sant Jaume, on Saturday 8 February at 9.15 pm.

Following their debut at last year's Santa Eulàlia Festivities to celebrate their 30th anniversary, the municipal schools will once again be taking to the stage in Plaça de Sant Jaume, to establish themselves as one of the big acts of the first day of this winter festival.

For the second time, the schools will showcase the music training received by students of all ages through long-running programmes, workshops, and music activities for babies and their families.

The following groups will be taking part: Combo Miles Davis (EMM Sant Andreu), Combo Quincy Jones (EMM Sant Andreu), Banda Jazz Latin (EMM Eixample) and Big Band (EMM Eixample).

Don’t miss it! We look forward to seeing you on Friday 7 February at 6.30 pm in Plaça de Sant Jaume!

Avinguda de la Catedral is slated to become the epicentre of choral singing for the Santa Eulàlia Festivities!

On Saturday 9 February, the Catalan Federation of Choir Organisations and the Federation of Clavé Choirs are offering an evening filled with song and showmanship with the Cathedral of Barcelona as the backdrop.

The evening will open at 7 pm with the concert featuring the Catalan Federation of Choir Organisations, which will present a performance by two choirs.

The first is the Basque choir Ama Lur (Mother Earth), which comprises male a cappella voices in four chords of first tenors, second tenors, baritones and basses. This choir was formed by a group of people from the Basque Country who had moved to Catalonia for work reasons. Offering a modern musical repertoire with choreographies, they get the audience to enjoy and participate in the concert. 

The second is the Orfeó Atlàntida, one of the oldest choral groups in Catalonia. The Orfeó Atlàntida Youth Choir was created with the goal of expanding the choral repertoire offered and giving young people a place to enjoy music. It offers a modern and engaging repertoire within an inspiring project that lays the groundwork to strengthen the present and shape the future of the Orfeó Atlàntida.

At 10 pm, the Clavé Choirs will take to the stage to present the CLAVÉclàssics, in a concert involving both the longest-standing and the newest choral societies. Seasoned voices, young voices and plenty of talent. Past, present and future: progress, virtue and love. The Societat Coral Joventut Tianenca and Barcelona Gay Men's Chorus will participate.

The Clavé Choirs are truly a great choral institution in Barcelona's popular culture scene. In 2024 we celebrated the bicentenary of the birth of Josep Anselm Clavé, a Barcelona musician and multifaceted figure. 

Don’t miss it!
