Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The festivities kick off in the early evening of June 23 when the Flame of Canigó arrives at Plaça de Sant Jaume, which is then used to light bonfires across the city's neighborhoods. As the sun sets, the epicenter of the celebration quickly shifts to the beaches and public squares.
Throughout the night, firecrackers and rockets constantly light up the sky, while locals and tourists alike dance, feast, and enjoy the vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. The massive outdoor celebration continues relentlessly until the sun gracefully rises over the sea on the morning of June 24.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Barcelona
- Use public transport, particularly the Metro (Yellow Line L4 to Barceloneta), as traffic is heavy and many streets are closed to vehicles.
- Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes; avoid highly flammable fabrics due to the constant and close use of firecrackers.
- Book your hotel or apartment in Barcelona well in advance, as the Sant Joan weekend is undoubtedly one of the busiest times of the year.
- Bring a large blanket, some drinks, and snacks to enjoy a traditional late-night picnic on the warm sand.
- Keep a close eye on your belongings in crowded areas and maintain a safe distance from the "Correfocs" if you dislike loud noises or sparks.
