Festivals & Events in Sitges
Revetlla de Sant Joan
The Revetlla de Sant Joan is the free, open-access midsummer fire festival on the night of 23–24 June (the 24th is a public holiday throughout Catalonia). In Sitges it unfolds on the beaches, with the Flama del Canigó, coca de Sant Joan, cava and firecrackers until dawn.
Carnaval de Sitges
The Carnaval de Sitges is the town's biggest street party: free, open to all, and drawing over 200,000 visitors (municipal figure). Documented since 1586 and revived in 1976, it is today Catalonia's most internationally recognised carnival, featuring two nocturnal rúas, a drag gala, and an unmistakable LGBTQ+ spirit.
Festival de Cine Fantástico de Sitges
The Sitges Film Festival is the world's oldest fantastic film festival (since 1968) and a global benchmark for the genre alongside Fantasia and Fantastic Fest. Ten days in October with over 200 horror, fantasy and science fiction films. Screenings are ticketed: individual tickets and passes available on the official website.
