Events and Popular Festivals in Roses
Anyone would say that the image is of the fireworks of the night of San Juan. But maybe not ... or yes.
The thing is that in Roses several popular festivals are celebrated throughout the year. Some known, others not so much. But none of them deserve to be on this list.
To be honest, if there is anything in Roses, they are events and parties, we love nature and we take advantage of any time to celebrate and enjoy our land.
Either with a party whose main motive are sunsets or gastronomy.

THE NIGHT OF SAN JUAN
San Juan serves as a prelude to summer and is celebrated on June 23. We could say that it is the most magical night of the year, for something they call it the night of the witches, right?
Roses lives Sant Juan like no other.
People pile up on the street about 10 pm waiting for the 3 notices that start the fireworks show.
At that moment, all Roses piled on the beach and the Paseo Marítimo looks at the sky amazed by the beauty of the fireworks that leave the same breakwater.
Finally the verbena on the beach.
So if you are in the area or have in mind to see the fireworks in a special place, do not hesitate and come and enjoy it on our beach. The verbena of San Juan in Roses is your place.
And no, it's not the only night with fireworks. But the first of the year.
Finally, how about a bath on the beach? why not? It is said to bring good luck during the night of San Juan.
FESTIVAL ROSES 2020
It is celebrated in halves of August without a fixed day. Although the holiday is August 15.
According to Christian tradition, the Virgen del Carmen is the protector of sailors, so in her honor a procession of boats is celebrated at the end of this party.
The main festival of Roses is well known by the townspeople and during the days that the streets last are usually filled with tourists and inhabitants, without a doubt, you can breathe summer through the streets.
During these 5 or 6 days that this popular festival lasts you will find street concerts throughout the promenade, concerts in the Ciutadella where there is always a recognized group, habaneras and sardanas, giants and the fair next to the Ciutadella, at the entrance to the town of Roses Endless activities to enjoy with the family.
The fairs of Roses next to Las barracas are located in the old campsite of Bahia during every day that the Fiesta Mayor lasts.
For more information, you have the program of the Major Party of Roses of 2019, waiting for the one of 2020, in the following link: download program.
To end the festivities, beautiful fireworks will decorate the night of the last day as the final party to the party.
Other parties you can't miss
These 3 parties we have talked about are the most important in town. And really the only classics.
However, there are 3 others that we must mention because today they live almost the same as the others.
Although parties, parties ...
La Ruta de las Tapas 2020

The Route of the Tapas has become a classic and this year there is a fifth edition celebrated between March 20 and 29.
This event consists of a kind of contest where a series of restaurants and bars that offer an exclusive cover for the event is valued.
In the end, the best of the tapas will be assessed.
The cover consists of a small dish designed by the restaurant itself next to a glass of wine (or water) chosen by them. Each cover costs 3€.
It is an event that certainly lives. It has been achieved that the whole town travels the restaurants in search of the best cover.
Which will win this year? Last year they won Salmarina and Gozos Mundanos.
Roses Festivalet
When there is news we will update the dates, although it will be held in mid-November 2020.
It is a small cultural, musical and gastronomic event that is celebrated on the seafront in Roses.
The best thing about the event is that it brings together musical groups from the area and it is an event that is celebrated on a date with little tourist attraction.
That is to say, there is not much movement and it gives a little life to the people.
The objective of the event is to take advantage of those days of good weather that the Estiuet de Sant Martí gives us with its majestic and colorful sunsets. Perfect to photograph and enjoy from the walk.
Roses Craft Beer Fair
For two years this local Fair has been held in Roses that takes advantage of the Pilar festival. In short, it is our particular Pilar.
During the 3 days of this party located in the Illa Itaca we can try several craft beers while listening to the main musical groups in the area.
An interesting fair that if you like beer and have a good time you will enjoy.
World Sounds Festival in Roses
Roses becomes one of the best places to enjoy good music in the country during the weekends of July.
The festival is celebrated in the Ciutadella, a magical place for music and that can bring together more than 3,000 people.
Singers like Tom Jones, Loquillo or Luz Casal have passed through it.
In addition to music, you can enjoy wine pairing from the DO Empordà Wine Route.
The Rose Fair
This event takes place at the beginning of June, on the main promenade of Roses, on Pi i Sunyer street. In it different businesses put a decorative blanket with different drawings formed by Roses.
And in the Plaza de Catalunya you will find different stalls with handmade products.
As you can see in Roses you can not get bored especially in summer. When it is full of people and it seems that every night the walk to Santa Margarita is a big party.
From ACP Immo Roses we hope you enjoy Roses!
