When the festivities of Gràcia end, the festivities of Sants begin, so whoever has not had enough or has not been able to go has a second chance, because although each has its own personality, also in the festivities of Sants the neighbors of the streets that participate decorate them in a similar way as it is done in the neighborhood of Gràcia. The Festa Major de Sants is celebrated on the occasion of the feast of the patron saint of the neighborhood, Saint Bartholomew (August 24). During the festivities many popular outdoor activities are organized such as: bastoners, chocolatadas, butifarradas, concerts of various musical styles, dances, sardanas, habaneras, activities for children, competitions, workshops, etc..
