Tradition and Magic of Midsummer Night on the Costa Brava
Midsummer Night, known locally as the Night of Sant Joan, is one of the most eagerly awaited celebrations of the year on the Costa Brava. It’s marked by bonfires, fireworks, music, and magical rituals. This ancient festival celebrates the summer solstice — the shortest night of the year — with fire as a central, symbolic element. In Roses, the tradition comes alive with the arrival of the Flame of Canigó, beach bonfires, parades with giants and big-headed figures, and spectacular fireworks lighting up the bay.
Celebrate the festival in Roses: bonfires, music, and fireworks
The festival in Roses combines tradition and fun. The Flame of Canigó reaches the city at dusk to light the main bonfire on the beach, preceded by a festive parade. Later, a fireworks display takes over the night sky with a dazzling show over the sea. And to finish, live music invites everyone to dance and enjoy the atmosphere late into the night. The celebration spreads along the seafront and the beach of La Punta.
