La Mercè Festival

La Mercè is Barcelona’s largest annual festival, celebrated around September 24th in honor of the city’s patron saint, Our Lady of Mercy (La Mare de Déu de la Mercè). First officially recognized in 1871, this week-long celebration transforms the city into a grand stage for Catalan culture, with street parades, concerts, traditional dances, castellers, and fireworks.
