The celebrations to mark the Feast of La Merçè will take place on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th of September. This year there will be new events and entertainments that combine the tradition of a festival dating back centuries and the innovations of the digital word.
This year's guest city will be Dakar, and the Museum Marítim and the Parc de la Ciutadella will be hosting a wide range of events, entertainments and film screenings devoted to the Senegalese capital and its culture.
For first time, the Parc de la Ciutadella will be the setting for a new initiative which you can take part in, and which will fill the festival nights with the light, colour, and entertainments associated with the new technologies.
The sky will be filled with firework displays; the streets will host parades of "giants" and "big heads"; demons and dragons will invade the pavements, the square will be filled with dancing to the sound of orchestras...This is La Merçè!
