FÊTE PATRONALE DE LA VIERGE DE TURA

Every year around 8 September, Olot puts on its best face to celebrate its patron saint's day, which has been declared a festival of national interest. It is both a religious procession and a great popular festival, with numerous stages set up in the streets of the town and hosting free shows and concerts. It is a moment of reunion and solidarity involving both many inhabitants and various institutions. Last but not least, it is an opportunity to watch the famous dance of the giants, the Olot farandole.
