The fire festival of the nights of Sant Joan and Sant Pere is back with a bang and with new local fallaire groups, throughout the country.

The summer solstice festival on the year’s shortest night is a magical night of fire. This year, with the addition of Canillo and La Massana, every parish will mark this traditional evening with the burning of falles, of bonfires and of the Mai (in Ordino), with routes through streets and squares.
