Lloret de Mar, known for its beaches and vibrant nightlife, also stands out for its calendar full of events and festivals that reflect its rich culture and traditions. Here are some of the most emblematic ones:
Fiesta Mayor de Santa Cristina
Every July 24th, Lloret de Mar celebrates its main festival in honor of Santa Cristina, the town’s patron saint. Among the most notable activities are the maritime procession to the Hermitage of Santa Cristina, the traditional "Ball de Plaça," and the "S’amorra Amorra" regatta on Santa Cristina beach.
Feria de los Americanos
During a weekend in June, Lloret relives its "Indiano" past with the Feria de los Americanos. This event commemorates the time when many locals emigrated to America in search of fortune. The streets come alive with activities such as theatrical performances, traditional craft demonstrations, artisan markets, and guided tours.
