What's it about

The Christmas Fair and Artisan Turrón Fair of Cardedeu begins with the lighting and blessing of the 'Fair Fire' at the Sant Hilari chapel, a flame that is then carried down to the Santa Maria Parish Church where a fire offering takes place. In the afternoon, the different exhibitors set up and decorate their stalls with traditional Christmas items. Then, the authorities proceed to light the large bonfire in the shape of a roll. Throughout the weekend, different activities take place: stories by the fire, dance performances and sardana dances, live music and Christmas carols, communal meals and popular games.
