Sitges Gay Events Sitges has something for every taste. From bear events to tango parties, fireworks to beach parties.... there is never a shortage of something to do! We have listed the key events below in Sitges for 2010.

Three Kings Parade - January 5th.
January 6th is when Christmas is traditionally celebrated in Spain, and of course, like everything else, they celebrate it in style in Sitges. A parade lead by the arrival of the 3 Kings sets off from Plaza Fragata in front of the church, the night before.

Sitges Gay Carnival
February 11 -17, 2010 with Parades on the February 14th & 16th

Carnival has to be Sitges' wildest party. Even though it is on in February it is still the hottest party in town! On the most popular days you will find more than 300,000 partygoers dancing on the major streets across the town. The busy months of July and August look positively dead! Gay boys and girls from the 4 corners of the world descend on our little town and party the week away!

Sitges Gay carnivalJueves Lardero or Fat Tuesday,marks the beginning of carnival with a huge celebration of local dishes and the arrival of the King of the Carnestoltes and ends with the Burial of a Sardine on Ash Wednesday. There's more to do than eat, though.

The busiest days are Sunday and Tuesday, when the local carnival parade makes its way down the Rua del Extermini in decorated carriages, sporting the campest razzle-dazzle type outfits you have ever seen. (The parades are themed, Rua de la Disbauxa -r the Debauchery Parade, on Sunday night and the Rua de l'Extermini - the Extermination Parade, on Tuesday night.

Sitges Gay carnivalTuesday, the final day of carnival, also sees some amazing drag shows. Think you have seen it all... you haven't! Some of Europe's top drag performers make their way to sitges to bitch-battle it out with each other to the great amusements of the revelers.

The Sitges Gay Carnival takes place 4 days before the regular Sitges Carnival begins. Jam packed with events it includes La noche rosa, Pink night, Noche de las Mantillas - where people wear traditional Spanish normally worn at weddings & funerals, Noche de las touristas, - the tourist night (great fun) and finally the Noche de las Viudas or the Widows night (probably because you've murdered your boyfriend for being bold).

Corpus Chisti Flower festival Sitges58th. Corpus Christy Flower Festival
June 6th

They carpet the streets of Sitges with flowers. The town of Sitges celebrates Corpus Chisti every year with style! Sections of the major streets are closed to traffic for at least 24 hours.
Then intricate templates are drawn on the road. Neighbors from each street gather into the small hours of morning, plucking the petals off Carnation flowers. These petals are then placed on the patterns on the road.

San Juan - June 23rd
Midsummer in Catelunya is celebrated with a big bang, as fireworks fill the sky in a prelude to the national holiday of the Feast of John the Baptist. Ancient traditions observed the summer solstice as the most important event of the solar year and fire was celebrated as the symbol of abundance, purity and fertility. So too today, the solstice festivities have fire as their central focus. Each neighbourhood stages fireworks and all-night bonfires are fueled by collections of old furniture, but the biggest celebration is at Monjuice in Barcelona, with a fabulous firework display and a colossal bonfire. There are dances and celebrations in the squares, street parties, music and entertainment throughout the city, and in all the homes, traditional cake or 'coca' is eaten and sparkling wine (cava) is drunk. It's well worth a trip to Barcelona for this one, to watch the fireworks, then go on to the biggest gay beach party of the year!

Tarragona International Fireworks Display Competition
From 7th to 11th of July

If you're a big firework fan, you may also want to check out one of the world's 5 biggest events which is held in Tarragona, just down the road from Sitges - Tarragona International Fireworks Display Competition. The most important fireworks contest in the Mediterranean area is held every first week of July in Tarragona, in a wonderful bay, Punta del Miracle, a place praised by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí. The competition selects six international pyrotechnic companies every year.

Top tango dancers from all over the world descend on Sitges.Web site

Fiesta Mayor
August 21st to 27th
August 23rd. 22:00 - Firework display

This carnival is worth seeing! 'Fiesta Mayor' means 'Main Carnival', and it really is! The total disrespect for safety is what makes it so exciting. Fire crackers are being lit left, right and center and aimed in every direction. The dragons which have fire crackers in their mouths even chase you! You'll see most people are wearing straw hats, that's to make sure their eyes don't get burned out. They duck when the dragons charge so that the hats protect their eyes. This fiesta is an amazing sight for sore eyes. Oops, bad pun.
