Jocs Florals de Sants Awards Ceremony

The Jocs Florals de Sants, Hostafrancs i la Bordeta awards ceremony is a literary highlight of Barcelona's Festa Major de Sants, held in the vibrant Sants-Montjuïc district. This traditional event celebrates the best in Catalan poetry and prose, with winners announced during the neighborhood's biggest summer festival. Attendees gather to honor local writers and enjoy the festive atmosphere that defines this beloved community celebration.

The ceremony is part of a packed program that includes the festival's opening speech, this year delivered by actress and director Leticia Dolera, a former Sants resident known for her feminist activism and popular film and TV work. Her address takes place at the Parc de l'Espanya Industrial, complete with sign language interpretation and traditional dances. The awards ceremony itself is a chance to experience the district's cultural pride and literary tradition up close, surrounded by the energy of the Festa Major.
