02/07/2026 - 02/18/2026

The Sitges Carnival is one of the most iconic and spectacular celebrations in the Catalan festive calendar. Known for its irreverent, inclusive and highly creative spirit, the carnival transforms the town into a vast open-air stage, filled with large parades, carnival troupes, music, costumes and an atmosphere of absolute freedom. For several days, Sitges pulses to the rhythm of satire, excess and collective expression, blending tradition with a contemporary outlook. Popular events, night-time parades, parties and traditional rituals come together with a strong participation from both local and international audiences. With a unique identity and a bold, transgressive festive spirit, the Sitges Carnival is an invitation to experience popular culture through joy, diversity and playfulness.
